Fuck I hate cancer

January 10, 2009

Great news from the home front this week. Six months after leukemia took my father I am told that my mother has been diagnosed with liver cancer. I have yet to be able to talk about my Dad here and now I must face the fact that I will soon be facing my mum’s end path. I am not going to do her the disservive of burying her in print while she still walks the earth but things are about as bad as they can get.

So it goes

I have been a bit quiet here the past two weeks. I have been down in New Zealand helping to bury my Dad. Bugger. Here’s the last pic I have of him, taken about 3 weeks before the cancer finally finished him off. I don’t know how I feel about this yet. Mind you it was a bl**dy good funeral, about 400 odd people. He would have enjoyed it either side of the box.Dad
