Oh, Lily. She makes me proud. I hope that one day she will grow to love slushies as much as I do.
I really like Scissors. I love this song and the video is pretty sweet. If you pay close attention you will notice a surprise cameo!
This game is all I think about anymore. I just started playing yesterday and I literally can’t stop myself from playing it. I have to get Jerome to take the Wiimote away from me. It sucked up most of my weekend and now my eyes are burning. I think I’ll play layer after the Lost finale!
This is really happening.
My dad, The Hawk, has throat cancer. It’s already in stage four and he isn’t doing very well. There are large tumors growing in his throat and the cancer is spreading. He’s already had all of his teeth removed and he can barely even swallow his pills anymore. My mom has to crush them up for him and he’s getting a feeding tube soon.
Every time I see him he’s throwing up and I can see that he has sores all over his mouth and tongue. He is always saying that his mouth is burning and there’s nothing we can do to help him. At least he finally stopped smoking…it only took him 45 years…
He just told me that he went to the doctor’s today and that they think he might only have about four weeks to live. He was crying and now I’m crying, too. :( It’s hard to imagine a life without the Hawk. He always used to say the most outlandish things and make me laugh even when we were just watching TV or sitting around. I’m still disappointed he never agreed to film Hawk Talk. I think I’ve always been his favorite and I am going to miss having him around.
Now he’s just looks like a shell of what he used to be. They’ve already planned his funeral and it feels like this is all happening so fast. We only found out about the cancer a few months ago. It’s really heartbreaking to think that when I get married someday that the Hawk won’t be there to walk me down the aisle…he won’t get to see my nieces grow up, and my mom will have to grow old alone.
We’ve all tried to be hopeful, but I’m kind of giving up on a miracle happening.
:(
Cory!!! <333333333 She is so big already! Whenever I see pictures of her it hurts my heart that I don’t get to see her grow up. :(
Tragic News from the Bird of Prey
The Hawk emailed this to my sister, Pam…
“Pam,
I will not be calling myself the Hawk anymore but I can’t get your sisters to stop
calling me the Hawk. I will not be using that word around my grandchildren.
Love,
Dad”
He’s never once asked me to stop calling him the Hawk. I think my mother must have put him up to this. What’s the big deal anyway?! Grandpa Hawk is an endearing nick name.
I really hope the new Nightmare on Elm Street does not disappoint. I can still remember the first time I saw the original. I was eight or nine and completely terrified! After that I watched every horror movie I could get my hands on.
