The harsh reality losing my father
​
My dad passed to pancreatic cancer in February and I know that many people with pancreatic cancer pass quickly but even then, I was shocked. My dad passed I think around two weeks after diagnosis when he was given 1-2 years to live.
Even at the moment where i found out he has cancer when realistically, I knew what was going to happen, i still kept on with this self centred mindset that it couldn't happen to me and that he would have some sort of miracle recovery but it obviously never came.
Eventually by my dads passing I lost all of that hope because the cancer just found new ways to keep on getting worse. My dad was too weak to have any sort of treatment or even say things back to me for most of the time.
Life isn't some sort of fairytale and it took me losing my dad for me to learn that.
I miss him so much,
