Bad news: Checked in on my dad tonight and he's not doing too good. Blood coming out both ends, and he's refusing hospital treatment. Says he wants to go see my mom, and that I was to leave him be. Sadly, I think he's being genuine and not just being overly dramatic.
Good news: I just saved a bunch of money on my auto insurance by switching to Geico. Seriously though, I got to say my piece to him and leave him to his fate with no regrets between us. From here on out, whatever happens, happens. Plus, I got home in time to take a walk with my family and sit down to a nice peaceful dinner. Odd how life works sometimes.
At the risk of sounding like a right bastard, if your dad asked you to let him go - let him go. I know how much you have done for him and how long you have carried a burden that the rest of your family refuses to share with you. As far as I can see from here, you are square with the house. Your father has surrendered without fighting for himself and expecting someone else (YOU) to take responsibility for his life and for the consequences that he has brought down upon himself. Time to gracefully walk away.
As for me, I have a father who is an alcoholic and a drug addict. I haven't heard from him in 23 years. He has never met any of his grandchildren and does not care to meet them, for all I know. The biggest favor he ever did me, besides bringing me into this world, is having stayed the heck out of my life since I was a boy. I don't miss having the father that I never had, and Father's Day only started to mean anything when my daughters came along.
Time to let it go, Stan.

I know, man. And if this really is the end, then at least he'll finally have peace. I know that as much as I say how "evil" he is, he knows he's sick and that he caused all this. He knows he should be a better man, but he just can't/won't be strong enough to get there. So before I left, I thanked him for all the good times. You know, just in case that was the last I'd see him. I wanted him to have a happy memory to hang onto. Deep down though, I have a feeling this wasn't the end. More than one doctor has told me that they've no idea how he's still alive.
Stan, my heart goes out to you. My father's pretty much a sperm donor who I've only seen a handful of times in passing, all within the last 3 years. Never met him before that. My mom's played both roles for me my entire life, so I can't imagine how hard it will be when I have to let her go.
You guys were all here for me when my Grandmother passed away a few years ago and it was wicked hard for me because she raised me while my mom worked. And I'm here for you, if there's anything you should need. <3
What, am I normal or not?
Am I crazier than other patients?
Right, I've done everything right.
So where's the karma, doc? I've lost my patience.
Who's modded the most games btw? I'm interested to see where I stand. I remember a year or two ago I had modded the third most games. I must have modded about 25 Marvel/DC games, lol.
Had a few setbacks last night and then watched the most recent Walking Dead with the wife (awesome btw). So I have to finalize the last role for RotJ now and then send out all the roles. I'll likely write the intro sometime this morning. The game will hopefully be open by this afternoon.
