So I feel rather silly posting this here, but today you have all been a bit of a lifeline (I've spent a great part of the day reading through threads in an attempt to distract myself from what's been going on).
In September I lost my father. He was young and healthy, and within 2 months of a cancer diagnosis he was gone. It happened so quickly that I don't think I've still been able to fully process. Let me add here that I'm a single mom, and I've been struggling with balancing my own grief, and helping my 8 year old daughter with her own. My step-father of 43 years (he's been as much a dad to me as my own dad - I was very lucky), is losing his fight with Parkinson's and after a series of seizures this morning, he's been placed in home hospice and it looks like we will lose him before the end of the year. I am so utterly distraught, and this Christmas has been filled with an incredible sense of loss and fear of loss.
Anyway, I've planned a short trip to WDW with my daughter and my parter (who is in Greece over the holidays, as his mother recently received a cancer diagnosis... the same diagnosis that my father had), and although we are trying to muster excitement for my daughter's sake, all I want to do is cry.
Thanks for listening...... and keep us in your thoughts if you can.
