my.dad.has.cancer

It was about 10 months ago when my dad was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. I remember everyone in the family was in a state of shock and denial. My dad was depressed and grieving about it. I remember when he feels pain every 2am he wakes us up and tells us things he should not speak of. It's hard to see your dad feel so weak and afraid. But I keep on letting him see that am strong and I will stand there as long as he needs me, I will be there.
Liver cancer, the most dangerous form of cancer in the world where only few, so few, survives. My dad did not undergo chemo or any state-of-the-art ways to eliminate the cancer cells in his body because we don't have the riches to do so. Instead he went to several alternative procedures and methods of eliminating the cancer cell in his body. After months of hopeful waiting and parying that he'd survived. The cancer cells count in his body went tremendously low from 4,ooo+ to only 300 cancer cells. Amazing isn't it? After that we celebrate the most memorable Christmas and New Year together. And his most memorable birthday last February.
Now, one tragic event changed everything that's already been so well. It's coming back again. The cancer cells is moving fast again. Dad feels the pain again. The pain that makes him cry every night and makes him sad all day. The pain that makes me angry with him and tell him words like "C'mon dad bare the pain, defeat it, Don't let it defeat you!". I don't want him to feel that he's so weak in my eyes and in the eyes of my siblings.
I wrote this blog so as any one who reads this may pray for my dads fast recovery and for strength that he may endure the pain.
Pray for us that we may endure this great tide in our lives.

Thanks! And God bless!
