You ever feel like G-ds punching bag?
« on: August 22, 2012, 08:25:36 PM »
So my father and I have become somewhat close over the last months. He called today to tell me he has cancer again and there maybe nothing they can do. Like clock work!

 Don't bother even praying G-d won't change his mind! I just had to tell my G-d loving friends how irritated I am!

Ephraim, I'm so sorry to hear this. I certainly will pray for your father. All of us will.

I'm so very VERY sorry to hear this Ephraim :-( I went through the same thing with my father. I only have 2 words to say to you. NO REGRETS. If you love him, TELL HIM. If you've been proud of him, TELL HIM. Leave nothing unsaid that NEEDS to be said to make you BOTH proud of each other. Don't be afraid to talk to him. Cancer is AWFUL, hateful, as far as I'm concerned. I will keep you and your father in my prayers, please take care.

I agree with Arksis.... When it is your fathers time it will be his time... Spend what time you have now to resolve any issues. My father died in January 2010 and we had become very close over the last couple of years. I made sure my father knew I was proud of him, that I loved him despite his short-comings {which he confessed to me}, and that you are sure that his spirit will be safe and secure in the next world. My father died of prostate cancer...

What is even more difficult is that my step-father also has been struggling with cancer for the last four years. We believe it is in remission currently but it could come back at any time. He must be tested every couple of months to see if there is any new growth...

My stepfather died of a brain tumor a few years ago. I can tell you it was the single most difficult thing I've gone through (aside from an illness that almost took my life). You should buy the book "Cancer is a Word not a Sentence"; you can probably get it for free. The title speaks for itself. I know how much it sucks. Nothing will likely make you feel better right now, but that book might be your only option. I hope I'm not sounding too harsh.
