So... I woke up this morning to a very sad email from my dad.

P&PT go out to your dad Al. It's so hard to watch a friend go through an illness like that.

I'm sorry your dad is going through that. Alison. Seeing a friend go through Cancer, facing death, so sad, and also probably makes your dad feel his own mortality. I hope he soon finds what so many friends and family of cancer patients eventually find- and that is the most beautiful human spirit that shines through those who are facing the end.


I can feel for your dad, seeing so many families here at my work, going through the phases of acceptance. First fear and anger, then sadness and grief- and finally resolve and relief and then the joy of experiencing them in the moment every day and accepting how their lives were a gift.


Hugs and thoughts-

It's funny too, I was thinking about how my dad shows he loves people- he's the guy who always brings food when he visits.

Speaking of amazing dads. Remember when my dad sent that note to Averey in Feb, near the time of the father-daughter dance, about how he will always be there for her, even if her dad isnt? Well, the other day a card came in the mail for Ave from him. Said "Just because .... i love you" - with $5 in it.
