Holy crap."<br /><br />With that kidding aside, I offer my gentle and kind thoughts to you and your family in this time of need...<br /><br />I will readily admit that I am not wise, sagely, or profound. In fact, most of my wisdom is borrowed from others. Even with that in mind, perhaps a lesson I learned from Tony Robbins may offer a small bit of solace to you when you ponder your "walk".<br /><br />"It's okay to replace one dream with another".<br /><br />As my Dad would say, rub some dirt on it and walk it out. <br /><br />You keep writing and I will keep reading.<br /><br />Best of luck,<br />ChazChaz Stevensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116478946778818081.post-85321438137698716852009-10-01T11:52:58.089-04:002009-10-01T11:52:58.089-04:00I appreciate the comment (as well as the other, un...I appreciate the comment (as well as the other, unpublished comment in which you identified yourself). Others have told me that I'm "exactly where I need to be," which I think is true. I'm grateful for your wisdom from the other end of the same situation.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116478946778818081.post-59354451521087985092009-10-01T06:58:50.028-04:002009-10-01T06:58:50.028-04:00Kevin, my father died of cancer almost twenty year...Kevin, my father died of cancer almost twenty years ago. I had just finished university and was planning a big trip but put if off a few months to see what i should do.<br /><br />My parents didn't want me to tie up my life waiting for my father to die. I can see their point if I am being especially charitable.<br /><br />They hid how sick my father was and encouraged me to go on my trip, which would last about a year. On my last day at home, my father told me he would try to hang on for me to return.<br /><br />So, I left on my trip and dad died while I was halfway around the world away.<br /><br />Being there while my father wasted away - well, you know what that's like, but I wish I'd been there and still feel bitter and upset that I wasn't there.<br /><br />You are actually helping me with your description of the cancer's progress.<br /><br />I wish I could be more articulate but what I really want to say is I support your decision to stay and hope you can retain the strength and humor this blog has shown you possess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
