I just wrote my last letter to my Father (1 Viewer)

I'm looking into receiving a treatment from a Naples Florida affiliate of my provider.  I think I will be out-of-pocket a bit more, but maybe it can be done.  If so I can get down there and keep my stuff on schedule so that I do not lose my surgery dates.   I will need two hours down there where I can get away, and will need to keep the effects of my treatment from them, but that is possible.

My Mom is terrified and confused right now.  She lost her sister a few months ago as well as her oldest son.  She is looking at a situation where my father will not be around to care for her and is frightened of maybe having to go into a care facility.  I don't think she needs further apprehension over me, not right now, and frankly, I am planning one being around for quite a while yet. 
Follow your heart and instincts.  You know best.  I hope the Florida based treatment option pans out for you.

 
Your parents raised a great son.  The love you not only have, but are willing to show is tremendous.  A lot of us are getting to this point in our lives, and there are no words - but you know a whole bunch of people out here are in your corner.

I can understand not telling your parents the full detail of your upcoming procedures.  That said, I would imagine that part of their raising a great son and truly caring human being was to impart how important it is to be there for your wife, your family, those that look up to and rely upon you, as you once did with your parents. 

You owe it to yourself to follow through on your surgeries as scheduled. But just as much, you owe it to your wife, and family... and wouldn't your parents want - and demand - the same?

Do your best for your parents, but know in your heart that to fulfill their wishes, you need to ensure that your health is paramount in this situation.  Let them know you have some procedures, and you can downplay the severity, but also let them know that if it's not done ASAP things could become worse.  How you handle that, if you tell them, that's up to you. What's most important is they know you love them, I know even through surgeries you will do your absolute best to tend to their needs, but please, don't lose sight of this and the next generations.  I am sure your parents never have.

Hugs and wish it could be more, GB.
