I am not sure how many were on my y360 blog however that all being said I have had some unfortunate news. And I don't write for the sake of just writing. A few things have taken place and some may know that I had put many things of my life on hold when my father was hit with Cancer. The first one was back some six years ago and since then he has had a return of it.
I just got the news at supper time and I am not sure what all is involved however this is the first time that I am not in the same city as my mother is tending to things. Apparently he goes back in tomorrow and all I can say is that it is not somthing unexpected - not sure what to say with regards to it to be entirely honest with you. I am reserve with many things in comparison to what was in Y360.
Now that I am here in a new city the one thing that I do hope is that he lasts this one out again. He goes into the Cancer clinic tomorrow and I certainly hope that he is alright. This man my father has been one that I cared for and know so many doctors that at a certain point there was a reliancy on me.
But we always do the best for our own folks as they did thier best for us. I am hoping a great man/father does not anguish. And I really hope that my mother is alright. It's something that I could write endlessly on however all that I desire is for the best to be.
I never jump to conclusions on this as I have attended to him in the past and seen everthing take place and all that I hope is that there is some manner in which it all works out. And how that is I certainly have no ability to attend to know and all that I can hope is for the best as I have done before.
"Acceptance is the Key for the things we have no control over" `jgs < I have lived my this quote of mine ever since I came back from United States to Canada during my father's first hit with Stage 4 Non Hodgkins Cancer.
My heart and prayers are with you Jack... Namaste'
ReplyDeleteIt's always important to remain close and do your best to spend this time and every time as if it is your last.
ReplyDeleteMy Mother was a breast cancer survivor of 3 years. Last Feb. at the age of 84 she was diagnosed with Melanoma. It is a cancer that is incurable.
I spent most every day, nights and weekends with her. As soon as I would finish work, I was on my way to be with her.
The time I spent with her was the most precious memorable 3 months I have ever lived.
My Mother was not a fighter and she never quit. She lives with God now. And that home is a far better place than here.
My prayers are with you and your Mother.
Thanks for writing this.
G'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteIt would appear that he has every thing on his side, good medical attention, love of family surrounding him & the prayers of his friends as well as yours, it is now in the highest hands….Warm thoughts to you my friend
Jack, I know how much you have been there not only for your Father with his cancer but all the family at times.
ReplyDeleteIndeed ...."Acceptance is the Key for the things we have no control over"
I hope all goes well.
My prayers to your father and your family, dear Jack.
ReplyDeleteA trying time it is...hugs to you new friend.
Jack, you and your family are in my thoughts
ReplyDeleteNot an easy road I'm sure, I began mine 2 years ago with my mom but at a distance, a distance that kills me right now. Wishing your father do well with his treatments.
ReplyDeleteMy best to your father, yourself, and all your family. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteHoping only the best for your Father, you are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you, your father and your family at this trying time. I pray that all turns out for the best.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for your father and mother and you too, my friend. It's not easy towatch our parents go through this sort of thing, is it?
ReplyDeleteWhen our parents need our help, that is when we realize how much they did for us.
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around comes around. I know you'll do your part. Let me tell you, I'm doing everything I can for my dad right now with moving him in his own place down here in Florida. Setting up home for someone else is hard work! Wonderfully, he's quite easy to please and we'll be finishing up this week!
Knowing you are always there to support them morally now, as you have been then physically in the past is certainly comforting for your parents. I am sure they do appreciate what you have and still do for them. Wishing all the best to you all in this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteThank you it was something that I did not expect at this time right now. And I don't know much to say as this is something that I try not to think to much about right now. I don't live in denial, but I realize that I am in a different place and I thank you very much. I moved from there the city they live in nearly five months ago now. Anyways to each and everyone - I am sure some have been throught this however this was and has been a long go. But thanks again.Yeah thank you...
ReplyDeleteThis line hit home, Jack. No use losing sleep over things we don't get to sway at our will.
ReplyDeleteI hope your father pulls it off the way he did the last time, Jack. No matter how much we say that we have accepted things as they are, a big part of us still worries and hurts over the anguish of our loved ones. My parents are both still alive and I also worry for them since they're also approaching old age. It's a tough spot to be in, but one that you have to brave --- you either have to accept it or to run away from it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean! Long time since seeing you.
