Wow! As I sit here sobbing (yes, I'm a big baby), I felt this from both angles. Both of my parents are still alive, but I can relate when I almost lost my mom two years ago and then getting a cancer diagnosis for my father. I loved your mother as my own and this hit me so hard to hear you have to experience that. Your father is a strong man and I love him too! Praying for a complete recovery, removal of any/all cancer and praying for it to never re-appear again! Sending much love and tight hugs from our family to yours!

Your parents are extra ordinary.. i knew both.. i instantly loved both.. i miss both.. life is a performance that is easy like Sunday morning or waiting on pathology.. glad this one is the prior... carpe diem RPM
