Angie,

I'm sorry you are having to go down this road...with small children I think it's even harder. The hardest thing I've ever done in this life was tell my oldest boy (8 at the time) that I had cancer. It was all I could do not to break down when he said "Daddy, I don't want you to die!"

My wife and I have been as upfront with my children as we could, my boys are 10 and 6. I've thought about how I would break it to my children many times and I came to the conclusion that I would wait as long as I could. I don't fear death however I do fear the experience of telling my children my time is short.

My thoughts are with you dear, you and your husband and family.

Eric
