I'm pretty sure mum will be doing a journal entry soon and I'm also quite sure that she has spoken to a few of her online friends about the information we received last night.
I really shouldn't be coming on here and only giving sad news. I really must learn to give positive news, but this is so sad.
As you may be aware my dad's sister had cancer a few years ago and beat it, then it came back whilst she was pregnant with her son and we all knew it would be terminal, but not in such a short period of time. We all thought years...not just over 1 year.
We got told this evening that my aunt may not make it to Christmas.
The cancer has spread to quite a few places, but namely her lungs and her brain.
She can't see very well, has limited speech and can't move very well either. Her husband is putting a brave face on things, as is my dad.
I wish this year would just go away. Be folded up into a letter, put into an envelope and thrown onto the fire never to be relived again.

Hi guys. It's my dad that I'm worried for. Me? I'm getting more and more stoic as time progresses (actually is stoic the correct term).
I know my dad is upset and when the deed happens I know he will be crushed. He's a very private man and I'm sure he will cry on his own, but I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad I will be able to help him through this.
Mum is terribly upset and has already had a cry so I'm pretty sure there is more to come from her there.
I'm much stronger than I was so I think I can help them through the hard times to come.
Just please think of mum and dad when the news is given.

Thinking of you all, as well
Yes, you do get more stoic, but these things are still terrible blows which one never quite recovers from, in the end you carry on because you carry their memory deep within you.

So awful to face loosing a child.
Parents cannot help but feel the natural order has been uprooted.
The hardest of truths to take I think.
Your family has given a lot of joy around here.
Never worry about any postings describing reality VV.
The world needs it too.
I will add you to the list by my candle that always burns, day and night
We are all 
Part of a star,
Not really far.
