...Life

My whole world feels a bit like it is crashing in lately, four weeks ago my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. To say life has stopped for the time being is putting it lightly. My dad has battled a lot of health issues, but this one feels different. Our hopes continue to be smashed down as we move through this process.  My siblings and I talk about how when your parent is fighting a battle that seems to be impossible, it feels like you are little all over again. I'm not ready to lose my dad, the bond between him and my son is one that I treasure. They are buddies, they understand each other. My dad is a fighter and I can't say any of us know how this will turn out but I do know he has made an impact on my child and me. I hope he continues to pull strength from us and he knows his life makes our life better and will continue to do so forever. Life is so hard right now and I am thankful for these small moments with this little man that offer me smiles and strength through his perfect little self.
