Twink, that just plain ole sucks. I'm so sorry to hear that news.

Maybe he's taking it better because he "knew" in his heart already. My grandmother (who died short of her 95th) said to me at her 94th birthday that she thought it might be the last Christmas she was around. (Her birthday's the day after Christmas.) It was. And I thought she was indestructible too. Miss her every day.

I wish you fortitude to get through this with your dad.
