To Ang and P. Silvestri. This is to both of you because you seem to be in very similar situations-fighting fear, anger and a sense of helplessness about your Dad's battle with this disease. You are both right that you need to be strong for your family. But I want to suggest to you that you also use this time to share as much love and as many wonderful memories as you can. Those acts, in themselves, will help all of you get through this. Our parents are "irreplaceable" and too often in our busy lives we forget that they will no longer be with us on this earth. Don't get so caught up in fighting the battle that you forget to just be there and love them. Amy
