bad news from daddy's doctor

[clw4514]

my dad was a hard core alcoholic for years!  he finally quit when i moved in with him and my step mom.  all that drinking did serious damage to his health.  we knew it was coming.  we honestly did.  he went to the dr last week and was told he had only a short time to live.  she sd it could be in the next day to the next year.  either way, it wasnt good.  mom gave me the news at my soon to be stepdaughter's bday party yesterday.  i know, the timing sucks but is there ever really a good time for that kinda news?

i love my daddy.  i really do.  but, he makes me so angry!  im hurt that he did this to himself, to mom, to us and the grandkids.  alcoholics are so damned selfish!  im almost numb to the fact he is dying.  i have no sympathy for him dying this way.  NONE!  he drank by choice.  he pretty much chose his death. 

i just hope he has at least got all his affairs in order for my mom's sake.
