Thomsoem, I am so sorry for your loss.  It sounds like you two were very close and I know you miss him terribly.  My dad passed away from cancer when I was 12 yrs old and within the past 5 years my stepfather and my mother both passed from cancer as well and all 3 of them suffered horribly.  It does help to know that for them the pain is no more, but it doesn't make the loss hurt any less.  I would never presume to say I know how you feel just because I went through a similiar situation as everyone is different, so I'll just say I do know that it is hard to go through.  You are in my thoughts and in my heart, take care of you, Deb

MY SISTER PASSED AWAY WITH BREAST CANCER THAT SPREAD TO HER LIVER.  SHE LASTED 5 YEARS AFTER DIAGNOSIS AND GOING THROUGH ALL THE AWFUL CHEMOTHERAPY.  WHEN SHE WAS IN THE LAST STAGES, THE DOCTORS KEPT HER VERY COMFORTABLE WITH MORPHINE PATCHES AND INJECTIONS.  SHE PASSED WITH ME HOLDING HER HAND AND WHEN I SAW HOW PEACEFUL SHE PASSED I NO LONGER AM AFRAID OF DYING.  MY SYMPATHIES TO YOU FOR LOSING YOUR DAD, WHO SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS A WONDERFUL FATHER AND PERSON.
