Dad, I hope you are reading this. If you are, I want you to know that I miss you every day, and I am so sorry.
For those of you who have cancer, or have loved ones with cancer, I want you to know that I'm sorry for what you are going through, and I understand. Hug them while they are here. Hug them tight, and forgive any differences. Tell them you love them, and be there when they need you the most. I was there for him, and it hurt, but he needed me. He needed me to hold his hand when he was in pain. The last thing to go is their hearing. Talk to them for 6 minutes after their heart stops, even if you can't stop crying. Their brains are still alive in those last moments, and their ears are still listening. I forgot to do that. I waited until his heart stopped, and I was so sad that I walked out. He still needed me. But I know he appreciates that I was there.
