    Default Well..

    Figured I'd come out and let everyone know what has really been going on.


    My brother who was currently stationed in Afghanistan got a letter Friday April 13th from Red Cross stating that he is to return home immediately because my dad, who has been battling brain cancer since 2010, has 3 to 4 weeks left to live. HOWEVER, my father was not known about this, by his doctor or anything. He recently had Hospice coming to the house Sunday morning.... My brother landed yesterday in Baltimore, Maryland. I will be leaving Atlanta, tomorrow morning to return to my home in Maryland to help with my dad with his last week(s) left to live. I've been recieving texts, emails, facebook messages, and wall posts...I really appreciate everyones concern and sympathy. I will be returning July-September to move back down to Warner Robins.


    Please keep my family in your prayers, as this is a really tough time that we're going through....again.

    I am sorry to hear this. You and your family will also be our prayers. Be careful traveling, and return home safe.

    Girl I knew had her father pass from brain cancer... While he went peacefully, he was saying some weird/sometimes hurtful stuff at the end that he would have never uttered if he was himself. Maybe your dad won't, but be prepared for anything (well as much as one can prepare for something like this).


    My heart goes out to you.

    Yeah he has been very quiet, and very relaxed. He's speech is kinda off, and he has to use a cane to walk...He did tell me on the phone that he wished he could have popped my ex in the face a few times, since he technically deserved it... But hey, that's every dad. Not looking forward to seeing everything happen, considering with my moms passing it was sudden... with his we all know that he's slowly going. But hell, it's life. I'm hurt inside right now... but I know when this is all done I'm going to be a total wreck. Losing 2 parents in 5 years isn't something a 22 year old should have to go through, esp with a baby on the way.

    People reach out to others when in need. Nothing wrong with seeking support from the IA community when going through a rough time. If that bothers you hit the back button and move on, no need for going down that road here.

    Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Bri.

    Didn't think that it was a big deal to post my personal business on here. But alright, lol.

    He's doing okay, I guess. Hospice is in the house, they brought a hospital bed so he can be more comfortable. He talks, and jokes a lot. He's to the point that when he looks at you, he seems as he's looking through you.

    Just keep my family in your prayers... it's a really tough time. Thanks.

    Thanks love. I got a new phone so I lost yours as well. 478-442-2891.

    I've been getting a lot of phone calls, and texts so if it takes a while to reply you'll know why. My phone stays on vibrate and I'm rarely on Facebook, but I'll text you. <3
