prayers & or thoughts needed...

I was seperated from my real father from 1969 untill "05 when Nan was diagnosed. it was an ugly seperation between he and mom. i took moms side. my step-dad was Dad untill he died 2 days after 9-11. i was crushed by that loss.
well my real father and i had been rebuilding for the last 2 yrs. my brother just called(and my step mom right after) and told me my dad has 6 months or(probably) less. a huge tumor in his lung.
i need the thoughts and or prayers he doesn't die like Nancy did. i can't take seeing that again. please keep him in your thoughts and when it goes bad it goes fast.
i prayed for Nan to hang in....i wish that wasn't answered. she didn't know me when she died. i want my dad to know me when he goes.
yeah...i've got crap all the time...but my loved ones have it worse.
thanks all for being friends. you've no clue what you all mean to me.

If nothing else at least you had time to mend the rift between you and him..

I will pray that you have many more years to get to know each other..

Carl,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.

I want to echo what donjamer said.
If nothing else at least you had time to mend the rift between you and him.

You and your Dad will be in our thoughts and prayers.

That's a tough row to hoe, Carl.
My Dad's business card read, "We fix anything" and it was true. He was a brilliant man, but alcohol took everything and everyone he loved away from him and he died alone at 52. I vowed that my son would know his father and we have formed an unshakable bond.
