i'm 19 years old.. and in a big family that isn't even close with each other anymore. ever since i could remember, i knew that all i wanted was to start my own life, to have a fresh start without any of these family problems. i'm entering university and on my first real life step to starting my own life and then it happened.
i wake up this morning expecting to go to church but i hear my mom running to me telling me to put my cloths on to go to my grandmas house, she puts the phone to my ear and i hear her crying out about how someone is dying.. at first i thought it was my grandpa but when i arrive there with my mom and brother, it turns out that its my dad.
my dad, whom i've only seen twice ever since my parents divorce when i was just a toddler. turns out he has cancer in the legs and the doctors predicted only 6-9 months left for him. all the feelings of me wanting to escape my family just dissapeared and i looked around the room, at my family and saw, my brother.. my mother, my grandparents... and my dad.
we said a few words... and he asked me a few questions.. but what really touched me was he said "do your best". me and my brother saw him out and on his way outside i started to cry after he left.
i took some time to myself wondering if i should go to church or not. i myself am not a true believer but started to go because i want to believe but still, i've never prayed for anything.. i'm not relying on faith on this one..
i'm just.. relying on i dont know what..
but whether he raised me or not, i love my father

Touching story.
You being a believer or not, you're in my prayers.

I think you should pray for your dad, I'm sorry about what happened. Can cancer from your legs really kill you though?

does your old man go to Church? they usually give sick people a lot of support
|
the worst thing about it is that you'll never "know" unless you pray... i am not a believer myself but i don't even know what i would do in that situation...
hope everything gets better, man

That made me cry because thats sort of whats going on in my life but not exactly

Sry that you had not much time with him and i could imagine how you feel, so maybe you should try to spend some more time with him now even if there will come some hurting days for you.
