I have been on Rivals for years, both on the VT and PSU sites. I have seen countless stories of those seeking prayers for family members in need. Cancer, divorce, pets, other ailments, etc. For the most part, you never think it will happen to you.... Well, my dad texted my brother and I saying that he had stage 4 lung cancer. My wife is a pharmaceutical sales rep in Oncology and she basically gave me the grim prognosis that if it's classified at this level, it's matastisized to other organs and is terminal. I called my dad and he was very upbeat even through his first round of chemo yesterday. He was more concerned about my upper endoscopy that I had done today as a year long follow up about my own cancer scare from last year. That's my dad!!!!.... Everyone else first! I feel horrible because my wife was with me this morning and when I spoke with him this evening, I knew that throughout his diagnosis, he was on his own. My parents are divorced and my dad resides by himself in Ponte Vedra, FL. I guess my point is that if you hear countless other stories from others, keep in mind that a family member of yours might be next. It sounds a little morbid, but in today's world, it's a reality. This is my first so it has certainly caught me off guard a little... Sorry for the rant!
