Got Terrible News!

Sadly, I might not be around much... my life has turned from going in a decent direction (for a few months...), to pretty much crap. My father has liver cancer. Apparently he's had it for quite a while, and he didn't tell anyone. But the worst part about it, besides his death is the fact that my mom and I are going to be forced to get rid of the house due to bills.

It really is bad.. but it's life.

Sorry to hear about the bad news.

My condolences to your pop and family.

Hang in there! It's a tough road for you all.

FWIW, I lost my dad 2 months ago, and it sucked.

Try to enjoy whatever time you have left with him, and make his remaining time as good a quality as you can.

Do your best to look after your mom, both now and after. And when your dad is in the hospital, be as good an advocate for him as you can.

Enjoy the time you have left with your father and don't waste your time with all the yahoos around here. Don't sweat the house -- find your mom a decent little apartment and live well. Remember, it's not where you live, it's how you live!

Again, thank you.
