• Father Of The Year - Dying Father Continues To Pass Words Of Wisdom To His Daughter
    36 replies, posted
[QUOTE]A father who has been diagnosed with cancer has vowed to write 800 notes for his daughter so that she has one in her lunch box every day until she leaves high school. Garth Callaghan, 44, from Glen Allen, Virginia, has been writing short messages on napkins for his daughter Emma, 14, since she was in kindergarten - and now she looks forward to them every day. So after Mr Callaghan was diagnosed with cancer three times in the past two years - kidney cancer twice and prostate cancer once - he realized that, if he lost his battle with the disease, he never wanted her to go without. Now he is on a mission to write 800 of the notes - which are each compiled on simple white napkins and popped in her lunch bag - in case he doesn't reach her graduation.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2546987/Dying-dad-44-writes-800-notes-daughter-one-lunchbox-day-finishes-high-school.html"]Source[/URL] I really hope that he survives and see's his daughter go through college, etc. The fact that he's taking these heartfelt preventive steps is wonderful.
jesus christ, diagnosed three times? that's fucking awful fuck off cancer

The last note will read "Congratulations on graduating. Now get a job and move the fuck out." Disclaimer: If you think that this post, in a forum that routinely makes holocaust and rape jokes, is in any way serious, you are literally retarded.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709553]The last note will read "Congratulations on graduating. Now get a job and move the fuck out."[/QUOTE]Was that meant to be funny
The last one on graduation is gonna be so sad to read :(

[QUOTE=Killer900;43709612]Was that meant to be funny[/QUOTE] Realistic.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709771]Realistic.[/QUOTE]Except her father is dying of cancer so I doubt he would be that much of an asshole to say something like that. I don't know what kind of reality you're living in, but that isn't what will happen in this situation.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709771]Realistic.[/QUOTE] Never become a father.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709771]Realistic.[/QUOTE] The majority of parents actually do care a lot more about their children than sticking to 'get a job and move the fuck out'.
Fuck cancer, shit like this gets to me since my dad passed away from Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma 2 years ago. It's pretty heart wrenching when I think about the future and how my dad won't be there to see me be successful one day and help me out in my adult life. But I hope he does make it to see her graduate, I'm pretty thankful my dad pushed as hard as he could to see me finally get out of high school before passing away some months afterwards. Man, now I need sleep before this shit keeps me up all night thinking about it.
[QUOTE=lavacano;43709809]Never become a father.[/QUOTE] You're six years late with that advice. Sorry.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709879]You're six years late with that advice. Sorry.[/QUOTE] I feel sorry for your kids then.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;43709970]I feel sorry for your kids then.[/QUOTE] Yes. Because, as we all know, jokes on a message board are a foolproof barometer for parenting ability.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709996]Yes. Because, as we all know, jokes on a message board are a foolproof barometer for parenting ability.[/QUOTE] No jokes on a message board indeed are not. A lack of empathy, however, is.

[QUOTE=GURREN LAGANN;43709354]jesus christ, diagnosed three times? that's fucking awful fuck off cancer[/QUOTE] I think it's metastasis and shit - once you get a cancer in one spot, it's likely it spread to other parts as well already. That's why fighting cancer isn't as easy as cutting out the bad bits even when for example in case of kidneys, we could just lob the bad one off and one could be perfectly fine with just one remaining, or in case of prostate, pull it out entirely (you need to wear diapers after that, tho). You usually try hitting entirety of the person with chemo and shit and hope that you kill every single cancer cell, wherever it is. [editline]29th January 2014[/editline] It's also why benign tumors aren't a big deal. They are also mutated growth alike cancer but don't spread pasts it's original position and you can either pull them out or just keep them there and they shouldn't cause trouble.
people being awfully antsy on an internet forum
[QUOTE=Pelican;43710432]people being awfully antsy on an internet forum[/QUOTE] Cancer is a serious thing, and ruins the lives of many. I agree, the internet has a dark, dark sense of humor and I join in, frequently too. However, even I must draw the line at some point, my point being cancer, seeing as I've lost family to it in the past. It sucks.

This story resonates with me as my Grandad passed two week ago, my mom sends me little newspaper comic cutouts like Zits and what not. I didn't know my Grandad as well as I wished, so the fact that during his Eulogy, someone mentioned that he would send these newspaper comic clippings to my aunts/uncle/mom every so often, it hurt deep.
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709553]The last note will read "Congratulations on graduating. Now get a job and move the fuck out."[/QUOTE] What the fuck is with americans and this obsession of moving out as soon as you finish high school anyways?
[QUOTE=NuclearJesus;43709996]Yes. Because, as we all know, jokes on a message board are a foolproof barometer for parenting ability.[/QUOTE] You yourself claimed your terrible joke about your awful parenting was realistic.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;43711971]What the fuck is with americans and this obsession of moving out as soon as you finish high school anyways?[/QUOTE] That sounds like a sweeping generalization because everyone I know who wasn't in a dorm tended to stay with their parents. If this isn't a Minnesota thing than you can probably pin it on the American dream.
[QUOTE=Pelican;43710432]people being awfully antsy on an internet forum[/QUOTE] You do realize what that you're on the forum facepunch right? We hear every kind of opinion there is
Woah guys lets ignore the shit joke and talk about these notes. They are pretty good.
