Update, and Why I'm Relaying in June!

So I'm updating everyone on my Dad Bear's condition, and a bit of WHY I am choosing to participate in the Relay for Life in 2 months!
It's been hard.... dealing with seeing him go through so much everyday. Bear is currently suffering from Stage four terminal esophageal cancer, that has spread to his liver. It's been a day to day challenge.

What the hardest thing for me to do, is tell people how long he has to live when they ask. It takes every ounce of my being to say to them "The doctors have given him three to six months... if that" and then to mention that it'll be 2 months already, on the 28th of this month.

I'm Relaying for him.... I have known individuals with cancer, but I've never dealt with a loved one with it! So... with determination and fire in my heart, I started my team, "Bear's Angels."
I didn't just start it for him, however. I started it so that no one ever has to be alone. I did it to bring awareness to everyone who has cancer- in my community, and the world. No one wants to hear the words "I/You/He/She has cancer." No...

My goal is to end all of that! :-) With the raised awareness and support, someday cancer WILL Be stomped out, and terminated.
