Tough Day for Me

Not to sound too pathetic, but today is a tough day . . . for me, at least.

As of right now, dad has decided to forego the biopsy, which means any treatment will be forfeited as well. Thus, if he sticks with this decision, I anticipate hospice being the next step.

The day is tough in the sense of preparing for the road ahead. My mom is firmly grasping onto denial, finding it hard to swallow the terminal reality of the situation. This, of course, makes it hard for us kids to get much accomplished in the way of preparation. But hey--this isn't easy for anyone. One day at a time, right?

Tina is already in Arkansas, and I leave shortly to join her. Please keep me in your prayers as I navigate a difficult week.
