I have to say this, in grade 8 some kid comes in and was like "jordi why did you go to the doctors?" and the other kid was like "cause he has a big fat tumor in his brain" That made me cry! And this is why:
In September 2004 my dad started acting wierd sometimes he would go white in the face and not be able to talk. It scared me alot. He didn't go to the doctors until March 2005. We had booked a trip to Disney World and it was the weekend. So I was happy all weekend up until Monday. My dad went to the docotrs to get his cat scan results back and coming home that day was the worst day of my life. My dad had a 5cm legion on his brain. We cancelled our trip to disneyworld... my dad was sad and I could tell. It brought me immediatly to tears. My brother went up to his room I think that he cried also. The next day was my orthodontist and my mom picked me up after she took my dad to go see a neurosurgon. When I got into that car my mom as crying. I asked her how it went... she said "that they can't operate on him" I started to shake as the tears rolled down my face as I said "does that mean that he is going to die?" and she said it would kill him. The doctors told my dad that he would die in his sleep . When I got home and saw my dad lying on the couch with his eyes open I said to him "dad i'm really sorry." I didn't know what else to say. He cried later on. That day we had to take him to the hospital because they were going to ake a sample of his tumor by doing a byopsy.Anyways, the doctor ended up concluding that they could try but they couldn't promise anything. He was operated on and they did remove it all. But the sad thing is it will grow back and it will still kill him.
It's sad you know... but he said this" When i'm gone i'll be waiting for you in heaven." Now when he talks he says things like "if i'm still around" and "if i'm gone"
I'm scared.

Finding strength in your friends (including us here on the DIS) and family will hopefully comfort you through this difficult time. If you ever need to talk, I'm just a pm away.
I will keep him in my prayers. Just remember to cherish all the moments you have with him now.
