Like most of his readers, I don't know him, but I know him. The heart breaks.<BR/><BR/> I lost my dad to cancer suddenly back in 2000. We all thought he was in remission. That the weakness was from his lack of eating due to his salavary glands being cooked by radiation. The doctors either didn't know or were under orders not to tell us, but it had spread to his bones and lungs. One day he was my dad. Hours later he was gone. I still needed to know how to be a man, I needed him to teach me.<BR/><BR/> Cancer sucks. It robs everything from everyone. On Tuesday we elect the next future direction of our country. Vote for science. Vote for medical research. All the rest is just background noise while you are dieing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-66433308463895268702008-10-29T06:32:00.000-06:002008-10-29T06:32:00.000-06:00Jill,Thanks for expressing in words what I believe...Jill,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for expressing in words what I believe most of us are feeling.
