What can i say

1 minute read time.

Well my pop seemed to be taken the bad news rather well and all he said to me was i dont want to leave you which is typical of pop always thinking of me and nan and not himself. Im still trying to get my head around things without any luck at the moment.

I spent all day yesterday with him and he seems to have got it into his head that if he puts some weight on he can have chemo for the cancer thats spread into his liver. I really didnt know what to say, i didnt want to say no pop you cant as the look in his eyes was so hopeful. Weve been trying to get him to put weight on for ages with no success and although hes eating alittle better its no where near what he should be eating and this is why hes to weak for chemo. So im thinking that the news hasnt really sunk in to him yet and dreads when it does.

Pops really looking forward to his brother in law coming over from canada next thursday and this seems to have brightned him up alot although hes worried that he wont be able to go to the local pub with him as when he went a couple of months ago he couldnt manage to get a drink down. Ive told him he can still go and enjoy himself even if he doesnt manage a drink he will be in good company as all his friends miss him and he never drank alot anyway. So im hoping bill will get him out while hes here on his visit instead of him staying in all the time.

Im hoping that my pop makes it to christmas as they come to mine for it and im hoping to make it the best one ever for him. I feel that christmas is ruined but ive got to make the effort for him and my little girl so thats what im focusing on.
