i'm so sorry to hear about your dad

when my grandad died of skin cancer, it was the same sinario. i was told 1 morning.. oh i have some news, yesterday your grandad died- no putting it tenderly, no telling me in advance he was in hospital, that was hard on me.. it was hard suddenly finding out, a bit of a shock.. here's me thinking he's alive and well, but that wasn't the case at all.

made a promise to myself that this won't happen again, with anyone

thanks for your post
