part 2 - please kick me while i am down

I just got off the phone with my dad. My papa (who is currently recovering from a stroke) just found out the he has 2 things of cancer in his lungs & in his bladder. He is too weak to receive any treatment. He is not in any pain, but there is nothing they can do for him. On the plus side: when he had his stroke his brain went back in time, but he is now in the 80's. That means that I am now alive in his memories. Apparently, this is good, & can mean that he is getting stronger. My father is in denial, and I let him stay there without questioning any of it.
