Up date on dad

we had dads radiation oncology appointment on Wednesday. He gave dad some good information,did a therral exam, and went over all dads records with him. In the end dad and mom have decided that radiation isn't that route they would like to take. They have decided together that they would like to do Hospice care in the home and make dad as comfortable as possible for however long he's here with us. Keeping in mind that Dr. Bible, his oncologist, plans on dad being around for awhile. But he thought it would be good to start the process of hospice now so that dad could have some input into his care later on down the road.
I just got off the phone with my sister Liz and we were talking about how weird this all is to us. How we're talking about our hero, our daddy...possibly not being here with us this time next year. How easy it is to talk about all this until...we both realized we were...talking about this....and...we no longer could talk about it...just switched subjects and at the end of our phone call she said " OK, I'm better now" I love her to death, because I was better now too...
