Him
I am completely overcome with grief. No one can prepare you for the diagnosis of cancer for your parent. My dad has been in the hospital with prostatitis again since Thanksgiving. Then, on Friday we heard the diagnosis I had been praying not to hear... cancer. It just takes the wind out of you. I thought the baby was just going to pop out of me as the doctor spoke, as it was like a stab in the stomach. He has been so ill it is indescribable. And this part is not related to the cancer. We can't even touch the topic of trying to treat the cancer until we get through this infection. To see a strong man be taken down by all this is all too disturbing. I think I lost ten years of life myself this past week. I know God is with us, but it is a lot to bear. I don't think I can say much more about it on here. It is all too emotional to share. Thank you for praying for him.
