He was sick for a year or so, losing weight, not getting an appetite. Would get his blood tested every week or so from then until now and he didn't have great blood. He got an infection in his hand, and they finally found out that it was lieuchemia, and that his blood was to weak to fight the infection in his hand, so he went to the hospital and got better. Went home, got a fever, went back in and was supposed to get better and then go to chemo but today, December 14, 2003 at 4:00 AM will forever remain the worst day of my life and this just took me a good while to write, but I'm telling you all; appreciate everything, and take nothing for granted. I didn't see him today but I talked to him on the phone. I loved him man. He was the best dad anyone could ask for. Oh god, my mom and I are now here and we thank you all.
i am SO sorry. i know how you feel...and its weird, my dad also died of cancer, and it was also at 4am. it was in march of 2002 though, Good Friday, right before Easter. i was only 17. and then AFTER that, my grandfather comitted suicide. and about 2 months ago, my uncle was killed. so, even though u probably dont want to hear it, i know how you feel. it's hard as hell, but i promise, it will get easier. if you ever need someone to talk to, or just vent to, or scream at, or cry to....even though you dont know me and im just someone sitting at a computer, i'll listen. and i'll try to help you as much as possible.
hang in there man...think about it like this...he isnt in pain anymore...theres no more suffering for him. and you now have the greatest guardian angel you could ever ask for.
if u ever need to talk, u can IM me. anytime.
