"Dad"

Steve is a a new friend in my life. We only communicate via email, and we met through a Flickr site I had put together for anyone who has or had cancer including family and love ones who seek support. Back to Steve. Steve is really going through a tough time right now. His dad has cancer. As I write this now I realize I call him dad, because I don't believe Steve has every mentioned his name. Maybe he has, and my chemo-head can't retain anything. Some times I think its better not to remember some of this grief. Back off track again...anyways I don't mind calling him dad as long is Steve is o.k. with it. Steve last wrote to our site this morning with some heartbreaking news. What was so heart breaking was he said watching his father go through this was breaking his heart. I wish there was something I can say, but at times like these What do you say?

I lost my father suddenly, never got to say good bye. Steve maybe thats why I feel such a connection with you and your father. I wan't you to know that all day today I said a little prayer and sent good Qi to your dad every hour. I also want you to know that right before I sat down to write this post I got one of those I don't know "premanitions" and it was a positive one. : ) I really want to tell you your dad is going to pull out of this. I really, really do. I also don't want to be wreckless with my words, but I saw him better today. Take care my friend.
