never the same....


And so college will never be the same for me again.  My father passed away sunday evening after a five month battle with cancer.  He was the most gentle wise man that I know.  Some one that I hope I can be just a tiny bit like.  I hope I can take his love for gaining knowledge and apply it here in the college level  I hope that I can make him proud.
I thought that I was going back to school for myself, and I am but I feel like I have more conviction now, I am doing it to make him proud.  I hope he is proud.  I hope that some day I will be wise like my father but until then I will work on being smart.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday-was my Dad's last day of radiation.  He continues to lose weight and is very weak.  I spent the day driving him to appointments.  I didn't have to do any school work.  It is in between teamsters.
Today-I visited my Mom and Dad.  His stomach hurts so bad from radiation he doesn't want to eat.  I checked my dashboard.  I am assigned to my classes.  Book of Mormon 2 and Math 100.  I can do this.
Tomorrow-Who knows what it will bring with my Dad.  Hopefully a bit better.  With school, classes will be live at 11 p.m.
Here we go.  I got this.
