MY PERSONAL THANK YOU BALLOT.


[+] ballot by Dingleberry
ACTIVE Sat Aug 25, 07 - Sun Aug 24, 08

As many of you already know, back in March of this year my Father was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. I made a ballot the night of his surgery practically begging for preyers for his safe recovery and got them. My family and I greatly appreciate it.

Five months have passed since his last surgery and just last week he got another, but this time we learned that the cancer spread to other organs. He's currently recovering well and ready to enjoy life again. For how long, only God knows.

I received many messages from users here who've experienced similar situations with either themselves or a loved one. I'm sorry I couldn't respond to all of them, but trust that I read every one.

It's weird. I don't know whether to go to his house and spend every second with him, or run 20 miles to try and forget about it. He doesn't want anyone feeling sorry him and I have a life and a new family (wife and son) to take care of.

It feels so good to know that my Father remarried 6 years ago and has someone to help take care of him, and I thought I was in the clear until I got a call last Thursday from her crying and telling me that he hasn't eatin in 4 days since his surgery. I was in a loud meeting at the time so all I heard was her crying. My heart sunk and I thought that was it. I thought she was about to tell me he didn't make it, but he's actually not eating much because his internal organs have to get back to normal from the surgery.

My point is, it doesn't matter that he has my step Mother to take care of him. Wherever I turn, my family keeps turning to me for answers about his condition. I can't seem to get away... or hide from it like I sometimes feel like doing.

From what I've read in your messages and my personal research, all I can really do is spend time with him and let him know that no matter what, his wife, family and assets will be well cared for. I never thought I would someday be this important to him. I wish I wasn't but I have to man up for him and his wife.

I'm currently training for a 13 mile half marathon for Cancer research in Las Vegas. This is my chance to run away but not for me, for my Dad and every other person out there battling deadly diseases, lost loved ones and every other fu**'d up thing that this world throws in our direction.

I'm going to run for all of you because you're all worth it and despite how mean or cruel some people can be, we have to stick together because we're all we have.

Yes, run for us Dingle!
Dude, run the last mile naked and I'l donate!

What a beautiful message, Dingleberry. I send all my love to you.

I'm so sorry the cancer has spread. You are doing the right thing by trying to be with him whenever you can. Someone I loved very much had inoperable cancer, but never wanted anyone feeling sorry for her or talking about her illness. I cherish the time I had with her then, because I realized just how precious she was to me and I could express my love freely, in a way I couldn't before.

None of us knows when death will come. Whenever someone I love gets sick like that, it's a wake-up call for me to appreciate people and give them more slack . . . coz today might be their -- or my -- last.

Take care, Dingle, and run well. Just know that a lot of people here love you, and are wishing your dad all the best.

p.s. I just saw your ballot about your newborn son. How great that your dad is able to experience him!

I was unaware of the situation with your father and I am sorry to hear that he is suffering more with the spread of his cancer. I lost my mom suddenly when I was a young man and it was very painful.

I will say a prayer tomorrow when the Priest asks to pray for all those in our hearts. I will say Dingleberry's Dad and maybe God will chuckle about that and take notice.

God Bless.
