I know I’ve written out here on occasion about my dad’s kidney cancer. Things were getting better up until about three weeks ago and now it’s kind of all falling apart.
He’s in the hospital for the third time since the middle of December and they’ve told him that there’s nothing more they can do for him. So he’s going to be there a couple of days because we have to get hospice in place so that he can come home to die.
He’s 84 years old and is more worried about my mom and my brothers and I than he is himself. A priest was there tonight and said prayers with him and gave him the anointing of the sick. I will miss him and love him forever. Just keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. FUCK CANCER>>>

I am so sorry! It is so difficult losing a parent no matter how grown up we are.
I’ll keep him in my prayers and you, too! Take care!

I am sorry. Will your hospice have a videographer or someone help you make a recording of some kind? They said they would arrange that for us but the timing was never right. Fuck cancer.

Not that I’m aware of and we don’t want that. Also if we’re friends on Facebook please nothing there publicly thank you |

It's been 25 years, but when I read posts like yours all the feelings come flooding back. I hate you're going through this and all I can do is hope that the process offers some sense of peace for you dad and your whole family.

I’m so sorry. It’s so dang hard. I wish you comfort and peace.
Suggestion....hold his hand(s) and have someone take a photo of this. It is a very, very powerful image to treasure.
