ALWAYSALOVER, avante, and Taps,
Thank you all for your comments and for caring. I saw you commented on May 8, 9, and 10. It's been that long since I have been able to get to the computer. There's been a lot going on with trying to take care of Dad's things and family business. Also, I haven't been feeling well and have been to the doctor about it. I'll have a procedure toward the end of this month and I hope they find out what's wrong and can do something about it. I want so badly to be writing regularly again but there's been too much going on to keep me away. I just pray that I'll be getting back to it very, very soon.
I just have time today to read a few posts and comment.

When I heard you were opting for surgery, I wanted to say that. But, you know, it's not my place to interfere with what gives a grieving family hope.

Thanks, Avant!
I heard on the local news the other night that people with esophageal cancer have nearly a 100% mortality rate. Had we known that, Dad probably would never have had the surgery or the chemo/radiation. He could have taken his heartburn medication and probably have lived longer and more comfortably.
You're right, it is all a part of the human emotion and I do have to work through it. Just writing about it and getting it off my chest helps and prayer helps. People have suggested I go to the doctor and see about getting something that will help me feel better but I tell them that I need to feel this and get through it, not prolong it or put it off.
I am getting through it and I thank you for caring.

These feelings are all part of grief. Experience them, feel them, express them. They are who you are, and you will again feel joy in your heart.
I knew a lady last year whose father had an esophageal resection and died less than two months later. The doctors at Duke said it was an extremely rare operation.
