Bad day

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

My father-in-law was rushed to the hospital early this morning. They thought he was having a heart attack. He wasn't. But they did find out that his cancer has spread further. I knew he probably wasn't going to get rid of the cancer. But it has taken over so quickly. He looked like he was getting stronger for a minute there. But the last few times I have seen him he has looked very weak. I don't know how long he has left. I've never heard a timeline. Although I think with cancer it's merely a guess anyway. I want so badly for my kids to have memories of him and how much he loved them. I don't think that's going to happen for my 19 month old. My son, 4, may remember him somewhat. It just makes me so sad.
I did a lame workout of only 10 minutes on my recumbent bike. I may do another ten later if I feel up to it.

    I am so sorry. I never knew my grandmother, though she knew me. She died when I was 18 months old, so I have no memory of her. Get lots of pictures of the kids with Grandpa. They'll cherish them later.

    Hi, I'm so sorry you are going through such a tough time! Have you considered making videos of your father in law that you can show to your sons as they grow older? This would be a great way for him to pass on stories, thoughts and words of wisdom. It's something he can do in small segments to conserve his energy. Cancer is such a horrible disease and takes too many loved ones.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
