It started about ten months ago. With three words.
At about eight thirty, my dad and his fiance called me outside where dad told me something that would change my life.
"I've got cancer."
I was shocked. I mean come on, cancer.
It just seemed so... surreal.
Sure cancer was everywhere but i never expected my dad to have it. My dad. Cancer.
I wanted to think it was a joke. To believe that it wasn't real.
But no. I knew that this was really happening.
"Okay." is all i said.
"Together as a family we can get through this." they said.
Then we hugged.
"Don't tell your sister." my dad said.
So i kept it a secret.
"Or your mother."
Again i replied "Okay."
Inside my thoughts were reeling, Twisting and turning at one hundred miles an hour.
But i was sure of one thing.
My dad had cancer.
