Dearest Laura...unfortunately, I know too much about what your father is about to face, but there is only ONE thing that you must know, and that is, that the alternative could be much, much worse. You CAN get through this!
Yes, the waiting is the hardest obstacle to overcome.
Just know that both of you will be in our thoughts and prayers as you begin this journey.
Keep us updated as to your father's progress..
