Thing is, when I started this blog I wanted to proudly show how strong my Dad is, even when facing the ugly reality of terminal cancer.
Keep everyone updated on the awful truth about Bobs cancer.
I guess sometimes the the truth is too awful.
He used to read this blog and it would amuse him.
He is too tired now to even care.
He won't eat it hurts.
The nurse said we shouldn't force him. Mom has to fight the nurture in herself to grant him that.
I keep my visits with him short, he tries to be social but it is a struggle. (It was a small victory yesterday when I made him smile... saying something totally inappropriate.. it was short lived.)
Mom is not comfortable leaving him home alone at all anymore. I agree.. we make sure that he always has one of us near.
I knew when I started writing, this time would come. It is as hard as I imagined, and then some.
Yes I will keep everyone updated.. And I am sure I will continue to be me.. snarky, sarcastic and caustic.
Just not today.
Your Dad looks so handsome!
