I never understood the emotional impact of losing a parent. The past year since my Dad's death has been extremely difficult. From learning his diagnosis of liver cancer, to his death was only five months. As a family, we did everything we could do to help him fight it, but ultimately there were too many factors. Before he could have a liver resection, he needed bypass surgery and his body could not heal quickly enough to be able to withstand a second surgery so soon. He had the very best doctors and we created our own rehab facility in our house to keep him home.
