My dad is dying (warning:really really sad)
My Dad has cancer, we recently found out it has spread throughout his body. He is in the hospital right now, getting a blood transfusion and various tests. I really doubt he is going to make it much longer. He has been ripping out his IVs and being a bastard to his doctors. I think he is so tired of dealing with the pain and just wants to die. I talked to him on the phone today and he sounded medicated. I told him I was going to visit him this Sunday (I am flying- he lives in L.A.) and he got upset, saying he didn't want to see anyone. I told him too bad, that I was coming anyways and besides, my flight was non-refundable. He told me that he hopes my plane crashes. He also told me that he thinks I should commit suicide with him. And that he hates kids and doesn't want to see DS. I know in his heart he doesn't mean this stuff, but man, it was really hard to keep the conversation going after that. This is going to be a great visit...I hope he doesn't get too upset when he sees me.
Dying from cancer sucks. I need to go hug my DS now....

Unable to even.

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
Oh honey, I am so so sorry. Your Dad doesn't mean any of that, it's the meds talking. I am praying for all of you... that your Dad finds comfort in his last days and you're able to see him soon.
~~Big hugs~~

I am so sorry you are going through this. I know it is hard to hear those things and I'm sure he doesn't mean them. The pain & frustration of dealing with cancer is the worst. I can't imagine how hard it is for you to be strong. I bet he will appreciate your visit more than he will admit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! If there is anything you need even if it's just a coffee & playdate please don't hesitate to ask!
so sorry. big hugs. he probably is embarrassed for you to see him that way and is trying to make it so you don't come.

Cancer is the worst disease. It changes the most loveable people because it is so painful and scary. I am so sorry you are going through this. Don't take anything he is saying to heart. He doesn't mean any of it.
I hope that he is able to find peace and comfort, in his final days, and I hope that you are able to see him as he was, if only for a moment. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry sweetie. I lost my Mom to cancer when I was in school. That's bad enough. Your Dad's words are really hurtful and crazy! But then, maybe trying to bottle everything up and push people away is his way of dealing with this crisis.
I think you are doing the right thing to go out and visit him and show him that you care. Good luck. Be strong. We'll all be thinking of you!
