I'm having a bad week. I picked on you and I should not have. My
father is dying, although he says he's not. Talked to my mom today and
apparently the doctor told her something he didn't tell my dad. She
said she'll call me later to tell me. My mother is dealing with that
and so am I. I'm just a [censored], any way you want to spell it. I'm sorry
for taking out my frustrations on you and/or anyone else on the ng.

Dinner tonight: I have no idea. Maybe I'll fry some fish.

Jill

Jill, I'm so sorry to hear about your father. Perhaps things will go better
for him than expected. You never know.

I'm sorry to hear that Jill.

Both my parents are relatively young (53 and 59) and every once in a while it
strikes me that they will one day age and I will lose them and I just don't
know how I'd deal with it.

Hope you are able to find some comfort.

that must feel, though I know that my parents are getting older too, and one
day I'll have to face this kind of thing.

Jill,

I'm very sorry to hear about your father. If there's anything I can do, even
just be an ear, let me know won't you?
I didn't see your post to Pandora, but I know one thing for certain and that
is you are no [censored]. You've been very friendly and helpful to me throughout
the years, and I know that is who you truly are, despite how much you're
going through at this time.
Take care of you, and my prayers are with you and your family.

hugs,
kimberly

Jill, after losing both my parents and my sister-best friend in the
nineties over just a three year period, I can certainly can offer a
shoulder, if not the best words of encouragement to you.

I Am so sorry for you and your dear dad! I Have lost my father ten years
ago! But I accepted it! Because is the nature.
If I knew this I would never answer to your posts. But now I know you are
searching some people who understand you.
Reality is hard to understand. But it is better to know before than to know

You are in time to tell your father many things: all the things that I
couldn' t tell to mine. You are lucky, and, first of all, in time!
I hope that my English language is more simple now, for you.

Don't worry ! I accept your apologize!
Thank you!

Aren't we all [censored], Jill? ;-)

My father died unexpectedly at 72 years young, and I am always envious of
people who are "lucky" enough to know that it is coming and have time to
have those conversations that I never was able to have, "lucky" enough to be
able to say goodbye.

Having said that, people who have been "lucky" as I describe above tell me
that I was lucky that he went quickly. I don't know. I really wish we
could have had one more conversation.

Elisa (gosh, I'm crying now, so sorry Jill)

Sorry about you father Jill. I knew he was ill but didn't know it was this
serious. Wanna come over for bleu cheese burgers tonight? If you want
fish I know I have tilapia in the freezer.

Thanks sweetie 🙂 Could I just have some swiss and maybe sauteed mushrooms
on my burger?

My father is a 3 year lymphoma survivor and he went to have some lumps in
his groin (ouch) checked out last Tuesday. The oncologist told him not to
worry, no surgery or chemo required. But when I talked to mom this morning
and said I was glad he's doing fine she said rather too brightly, "No, he's
not!" Then she whispered, "I can't tell you right now." OH [censored]. Dad is
almost 82. Last year he had bypasses to deal with blockages in his femarol
arteries. He's having a hard time walking and even more of a hard time
being cognizant. His doctor told Mom something he didn't tell Dad. And
she's not able to say it on the phone to me with him in the room.

My offer to move down there to help out is still on the table. They've been
married 55 years and lord only knows what she'll do when he's gone.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad, Jill. My dad was diagnosed four years
ago with a type of cancer for which there is no cure. Based on what my
brothers and I were told about the disease (and what his doctor's prognosis
was, seeing as he was in an advanced stage of the cancer), we fully expected
the Christmas of '01 to be my dad's last. (As it turned out, it wasn't his
last, fortunately, but we live with the knowledge that he will die from this
disease one day.)

I'll keep your dad in my thoughts. Take care of yourself.

Jill, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He's having a rough time. I'm
hoping for you that whatever the doctor told your mom has a positive side,
too. Perhaps there are some meds that will allow your dad to be
comfortable and to be with you all for awhile to come.

Elaine, too

Ouch. My heart goes out to you. And from past conversations here,
you're very close to him, Daddy's little girl.

My sister is caring for our Mom, who is back in the hospital again for
med adjustment. She's still clear-headed at 92, if a bit shy on what
happened yesterday. Sis snarls if I say the wrong thing (read: almost
anything) and mostly I just take a very deep breath and let it slide.
I don't know how she does it all, and works two jobs as well.

OB Dinner: Potluck with my women's group. I've got spinach and
chickpeas with Indian spices (cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and curry),
rumor has it there will be breads and fruits and pastry from other
members. I have to put on my shoes and wrap up the dish so I can walk
over there.

Jill take some advice from a stranger whose father died unexpectedly.
Don't hope for anything from your father. Take him as he is and love him
as he is. Otherwise his death will leave a more bitter memory than need
be.
