Ok so its time for an emo blog. I will start off this blog by explaining a little bit about my family situation, my parents immigrated to Canada from Ireland back in the 70's they both didn't have any other family here and I was the only child that they had. So I family events were always small and it was usually just the 3 of us. like a lot of guys I didn't get along with my father, I have always thought that I was a lot different from him, but maybe the real problem was that we were both too much alike, we are both very stubborn and have the Irish temper. Needless to say the relationship was never very good and really still isn't today, but my parents are my only real family here and regardless of any of any disagreements I still do care about them. So here is the emo part today I found out that my dad has prostate cancer, my mom says they caught it early and that they are saying 6 weeks of radiation treatment and thats all I really know at this point, I actually only found this out about 2 hours ago.

That really sucks man. I feel for you, but they did catch it early, so he should get through this crap with flying colors. Take this as an opportunity to get to know the parents again. smile

wow man. I am so sorry to hear about that. It is a shame when some one so close has to deal with illness. I will give you my best energy and best thoughts.
You are an amazing man. It isn't fair for you either.

Sounds like it will turn out well in the end. Catching it early is always the best situation. Be there for your dad and take this oppurtunity to re approach your relationship with him. At least make your best effort. I don't know you well or the exact details, but I think that is what I would try to do.
