sorry to read that Jimmy
lost my mom to leukemia.... and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.......Cancer is so hard to fight as its your own cells fighting you.
All i can say is....if you want to remember (preserve) your family history, now is the time to ask you dad about the old days....as there are things he knows that no one else will remember. hang in there man.

lost my grandfather to cancer when i was 3. my dad still tells me stories of how i was his "favorite" grandson. like bigfish, always felt robbed of the chance to know him, would've gotten along well with him, judging by my relationship with my dad. hope things go well for your dad jimmy.

Thoughts and prayers. My mom has emphasema right now and is going to be getting a transplant in about 2 months. I know its different but im feeling a bit of the same things i imagine. Just telling my mom that i love her and all that mushy stuff makes me feel better and i know it does the same for her.

My father passed 4 yrs ago, and his brother passed earlier this year.
I had been asked years back if I wanted to join my mother, father, aunts and uncles for a family luncheon. I did not know what the reason was, I just wanted to me some of my relatives that I don't get to see that often.
As it turns out, it was a surprise for my father's older brother. He hadn't seen his brothers and sister together in DECADES, and he didn't know they were going to join his group (his younger brother and sister-in-law and himself).
This was quite a memorable lunch.
I hail from a family of 9 kids, and oddly enough, when my dad was ill, and the end was eminent, my other siblings all made efforts to "make their peace" with dad while they could. I, on the otherhand, spent MANY hours fishing (trout) with dad down the cape, and spent almost as much time talking and playing cribbage while listening to the Sox on the radio. Those are some of my most treasured memories of my dad.
(I already have plans to introduce my nieces and nephews to the world of fishing.)
Hope and pray for the best, and treasure the time you have.
