My heart is with you and your family, Charlie. Thanks for writing about this and sharing it with us. I guess the clock is always ticking, but the awareness of it today is making me appreciate things just a little more <3
Charlie, I’m so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. What to do when the clock doesn’t stop ticking? Create more interactions. Value each of them. 2 is very different than 5. Big hugs. ♥️
Exactly, James, yes. I called my dad last week, which is something I never do, and it was really nice. Now I wish I had done it more, but at least I still have time to do it.
It’s a devastating phone call. Lung cancer - 3-6 months. I got it just before my first year law school finals, while I was at school, between classes. I was nearly forty, rather than in my twenties. Maybe better prepared - but still. My dad was dying. I get it. I am so sorry.
Thank you, Scott. I had been fearing it too but the fear didn't change anything for me. I realize now I've been angry at my dad for so long. Now I feel silly that I've been angry at him for not being more of the dad I wanted him to be.

Oh, Charlie I’m so sorry to hear this. I lost my Dad recently to cancer and understand the mix of emotions. Sending hugs and love your way.
On a brighter note, congrats on the offer ◡̈
Thank you, Rachel. I'm so sorry about your dad. Even just hearing that other people have a mix of emotions is comforting.
And thank you! We are under contract. Waiting to hear back about the inspection so fingers crossed.

Oh gosh, Duncan, I'm so sorry. That is devastating. Such short notice. It must have been so difficult to get through your finals.
Love..and a shoulder and ear when you need them
Thank you, Karena, I really feel that from you. <3
Sorry, Charlie. With two aging and not-the-healthiest-parents, I fear the day that I get this call. Sending thoughts and prayers.
Thank you, Scott. I had been fearing it too but the fear didn't change anything for me. I realize now I've been angry at my dad for so long. Now I feel silly that I've been angry at him for not being more of the dad I wanted him to be.
I’m so sorry and sending love.
Thanks so much, Kristin.
I'm sorry to hear this Charlie. Blessings to the whole family finding the way through.
