He is doing good now, but lymphoma is one of those cancers that WILL come back. So, it's like we are sitting on a time bomb. :(<BR/><BR/>While he was going through chemo, he was totally NOT himself. My father has always been one to stay busy all the time. He worked 60 hours a week, plus he had his hobbies that occupied the rest of his time. While he was going through chemo, he couldnt' do anything but sit around and watch tv. It was heartbreaking. Not to mention the fact that he lost all his hair and he did just seem older. <BR/><BR/>I, too, have had that nightmare and awoken the same way. There's really nothing that I can say to comfort you. Just value each and every moment you have with him and be sure he knows how much you love him. Dad's cancer definitely brought us closer as a family.<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking about you. :(Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446067323901501183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-28464965772841575432007-09-25T02:59:00.000-05:002007-09-25T02:59:00.000-05:00I've had that dream myself before I can easily say...I've had that dream myself before I can easily say it was my worst nightmare.

See today's post - "Blog Envy" on anxiousmoments.<BR/><BR/>My father, who I haven't much blogged about yet, passed away from lung cancer a few years ago. Other than missing him EVERY day, I have no regrets, because I told him everything I needed to before he passed. This is the ONLY beauty of cancer - one last chance, knowing someone may not be there tomorrow, to say what you want. <BR/><BR/>I hate it when it only happens at the funeral.<BR/><BR/>Wishing your Dad a positive prognosis and you peace of mind.Wenderinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340237940859669413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-8835858644812491842007-09-21T23:26:00.000-05:002007-09-21T23:26:00.000-05:00That "Power of Dad" thing is pretty strong, ain't ...That "Power of Dad" thing is pretty strong, ain't it?<BR/><BR/>Sleep well, my friend.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.Alpha Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073731050596870101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-21956535512207459782007-09-21T14:56:00.000-05:002007-09-21T14:56:00.000-05:00It doesn't matter how old you get, every girl need...It doesn't matter how old you get, every girl needs her daddy.

There's so little sweetness in life when there isn't sorrow to counterpoint it. That sounds like a bunch of hooey, but I think it's true.<BR/><BR/>When my mum almost died this summer it hit me really, really hard. And while I wish like crazy she didn't have to have gone through that, I'm grateful in a way. It's hard to put into words, though.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if we interviewed a whole whack of 80 years olds, would they feel like they have it together? Like they know what they want to be when they grow up?

We need our Dads to stick around. And I so identify with that image of Dad at 31... always. Even when you see him regularly and he looks 67 (or whatever).
