Suddenly I hate Fathers day.

[maestro]

A little venting for me before I go. I'm busy trolling the forums for whatever and my mother calls me up about 20 minutes ago.
My Dad was diagnosed as terminal this morning. We all hoped for the best last week when he had an emergency surgery. The Dr's say chemo may give him another year or two, or not.
I feel sick, I'm on the verge of crying like a child and furious at something I have no control over.
My first fathers day I got such a bad case of food poisoning I was in the hospital over 12 hours on an IV before I stopped getting sick. That was humorous in retrospect. Oddly enough I have had a few other uncomfortable Fathers day events. I am blessed with a beautiful daughter but this takes the cake for me on an often less than pleasant day.
Don't know what to do right now.

Sorry to hear about this Hopefully your father will be able to enjoy his last years. Such a horrible thing to go through. Im sure you're daughter is looking forward to fathers day for you. Keep w/ it man, you'll get through the rough stuff.

I'm very sorry to hear that, and I know exactly how you are feeling right now. My father has been in the hospital the past two weeks and we almost lost him 2 days ago. It doesn't look like he'll be out any time soon either. I'll be sure to pray for your father along with mine.

Sorry to hear about your father. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

also sorry to hear, you and your family will be in our prayers as well. As for waht to do, the best thing is be strong, crying is certainly ok, but as you said you have a family too and they need you too. You will make it through this.

Sorry to hear hun..I work in a hospital and I see families in here upset on special occasions all the time its really hard not to get upset with them as I can only imagine what you must be going thru, But keep positive as you say you have a beautiful daughter who I'm sure is looking forward to spending it with her father. My thoughts are with you and your family.
