It's Sunday night and the reality has set in. My dad will probably go to the Oncologist tomorrow. I want him to go, but I'm afraid of what he will find out.
I have always been a daddy's girl, from the day I was born. We are a lot alike in many ways. He is where I got my love for cooking and serving others. He always waited on my mom, getting coffee for her, cooking for her, her wish was his command. I guess he's where I got my love for coffee. Since I was a preschooler, I would wake up really early in the morning to have coffee with my daddy before he went to work. That was our special time, just me and him. Of course, he fixed my coffee with a lot of milk, even more sugar and a little coffee back in those days. To this day, if we visit him, or he visits us, we both wake up very early and have our time together. We don't plan it, it just happens. No matter what time I go to bed, soon after my dad wakes up, I wake up and we have "Our time". Everybody else sleeps in, it's just us. I will forever remember this special time, and I thank the Lord for this special memory. I'm very sad because I have not been able to have that time with him this trip(I couldn't stay at his house...a long story) and since he needs help getting around, his wife will get up with him from now on, so our special time is gone forever more.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to depress everyone. I'm just having a difficult time today, and I thought it might help to let some things out. It has been a roller coaster weekend, and I don't think the ride is going to stop any time soon.
Please keep praying for me and our entire family. I'm going to miss my daddy so much!!
If you still have your daddy with you, tell him you love him, show him you love him every day and realize what a special gift you have in your father. Don't ever take him for granted.
Please pray.

I Love you!!!! I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I miss you too! I'm praying, we all are. Ginger is just fine, although I do think she misses you very much. See you soon.
your friend!!!
Thanks, I love you too. I want normalcy. I miss you too. I'm going to try to run in the morning, I need the stress relief. But, I don't know. The doctor's office opens at 9:00.
Give Ginger a smooch for me. Good night, my friend.
Lynn I am so sorry for the loss you already feel and know is coming for you and your family...I am praying...If all Dads could understand the impact they have on their little girls for life, allot of them would do some drastic changing...
Your post broke my heart...
Thanks for your prayers, Vic. Please keep praying for us. I love you
I been praying Sister Lynn...God works miracles, whether it be body OR soul OR both. God knows and He will give you the desires of your heart, which is foremost your daddys salvation. I can understand with you on this one as mine isnt saved either, but I know he will be. So will yours.
