Dying dad walks 11 year old daughter "down the aisle" - Polidicks

[QUOTE=cucumber;44434569]Am i the only one who find it kind of disturbing? All the shit he could have imagined about his daughter on the earth, like high school graduation, getting in to college, or graduating college, but he thinks about her marriage, and walks her 11 years old daughter down the aisle. WTF? I am not even talking about the effects of his selfish and sick action on the poor little girl. Most people laugh and have good time on their weddings, but she will remember her dad, and feel like shit the whole wedding. Good job.[/QUOTE] oh you're one of those people that assume the worst in a person there's no room for discussion with somebody like you here With any luck cancer will be cured in the next 30 years

I hate you, Cancer.

[QUOTE=tom1029;44434355]:c Not really relevant but damn, he was 51 when she was born?[/QUOTE] my dad was 53 when I was born. it's not that rare of a case

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;44436929]I hate you, Cancer.[/QUOTE] cancer hates you too but real talk that's because cancer is an asshole I hope we commit cancer genocide with an absolute cure I'm really sick of his shit

[QUOTE=Mors Quaedam;44434320]I don't know how I'd cope if I was told one of my parents only had months to live, especially at that age. So saddening.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, my worst fear as a child was to lose one of my parents. I always had horrible dreams of them dying and at that age it just seemed like it might come true. Luckily I still have both my parents, my Father being a cancer survivor and my Mom a recovering alcoholic. It's been a tough road, and as sad as this story is you know I am happy that they get to spend some time together and say goodbye before he passes away. Some don't get that luxury.

Wow, he looks old as fuck. Cancer really aged him.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;44434544]I hope cancer gets cancer[/QUOTE] That would probably only make you die faster.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;44436942]my dad was 53 when I was born. it's not that rare of a case[/QUOTE] Mine was 60 when I was born. He died from cancer when I was 8. I teared up reading this. It's great that they're making memories while they can.

Don't think many other people share this kind of opinion, but I really think that it's cruel for the child when a parent has them when they're 50+, don't get me wrong, young parents can die as easy as old parents, but there is a higher risk of them passing away when they're young.

He was essentially the father figure in my life. It took me a lot longer than "a month or so" to be fine about it.

My mom was in her late thirties and believed she was sterile until I proved her wrong. Between that and the large age gap between them, the usual assumption by strangers was that they were my [I]grand[/I]parents. What I find disturbing are the cases where people [I]intentionally[/I] try to get pregnant later in life.

Cancer can suck a big fat dick. Seriously, I can't wait until the day we can find a cure to kick its ass.

When I was a freshman (about 6 years ago), I remember coming home to my father in tears because his doctors at the VA hospital told him he has stage 4 prostate cancer. He was a US Marine and I've never seen him show much emotion much less seeing him balling his eyes out. The doctors gave him a couple years at most; but during future testing, it was discovered that his cancer went dormant and that he can live anywhere from a few hours to 30 years. Not knowing is horrible.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;44434544]I hope cancer gets cancer[/QUOTE] This is it! The cure for cancer is cancer!

Aw man, I didn't need this ~2.5 weeks after my father died (pancreatic cancer), and while at work too, struggling not to cry here :/
