Shawna,

I know what your dad said must have really been hurtful, but you have to think about all he's going through. I'm sure he's just frustrated and ended up taking it out on you. It is definitely hard watching a parent go through this. My mom can't talk right now, and it is so hard not even being able to call her. Sometimes I just wish I could turn things back to how they were 6 months ago and just call her up and ask her to go shopping!! Hang in there and remember that people say things when under stress that they don't really mean. I know how you must have felt, though. My heart goes out to you.

Keep counting down the days... It will be over soon!
