I want to ride my bicycle.
Can't think of how to say this, so, with his gracious permission, I'm gonna steal BKB's words here...

Well, I decided to post this, though it's a bit out of my character to do so.... My mom has a week to live according to the Docs. Sure, it may be 2 weeks, but that's the word.

I guess I thought I had more to say...

I guess not. I'll post this anyway...

Yeah... what he said. Except 'my dad' instead of 'my mom.'

Kind of out of character for me, too, and I'm not sure why I'm posting this, except that this place has become a sort of online home to me in the past few months. I guess I feel like I've gotten to know some of you somehow, and I've seen how supportive this place can be... I don't know... maybe I just wanted to see this in print to somehow snap myself out of denial...

Sorry to be a downer on a Friday...
 
Sorry to hear the news, Peach. You are your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take advantage of the limited time you have left and leave no regrets.

You are right that this is an online home. If there is anything you need or just want to talk, just PM me.

Peach, there is nothing we can say. But we can "listen".

Those of us who have lost parents know that the most important thing right now is to say the things you need to say. To clear the air about past problems. To express thanks for the little sacrifices all parents make to raise their young. To share the pain of the impending temporary separation and celebrate the joys of lives and loves shared. You have time. The topic is on the table. Embrace it. Say what you need to say and then listen, encourage your Dad to talk. Get everything you can out of it now so that there are no unspoken regrets later. You and he will be fine. Death is a natural part of life. You will be fine!
