Its starting to hit me that my dad isnt here anymore for the advice and support he gave me. Im missing him so much and im trying to be strong for brandon but i feel as if im spiraling out of control the now. My dad was the one that would tell me how everything is going to be ok and just take it easy. When im worried about brandon he would be there to tell me he will be ok and now hes not.

When we live with the consequences of cancer I think for sure there is a double-edged sword. On one hand we are given the luxury of time to sort stuff out. I mean, it's not like we have to live with our partners dying a violent death in a road traffic accident or a sudden stroke or heart attack.
Since Glenn died in July 2009 I am actually starting to think we had such a precious time together. I think in a way we might have been very lucky to have notice of what was going to happen to him,...

So Ray, because I am unable to say this to you in person I will do it here.
As you sit amongst the Angels,
