It’s been exactly 3 weeks since my dad passed. January 7, 2016 at 6:20 PM my dad died from Small Cell Lung Cancer that had ultimately metastasized to all of his organs, including his brain.
He was 66 years old.
When I was younger, I thought 66 was old, but watching him struggle in that hospital bed and seeing him there after he died, I realized, even more, how much life he had left to live.
He was too young for that.
Some people said, well at least he lived a long happy life. He got married, had children, made friends… he enjoyed life thoroughly. And he did.
But he was still too young. He could’ve lived another 20 years! He could’ve been here long enough to watch my girls get married.
