My dad has cancer,

it's hard to accept, we have never really been super close but I've also tried and was always happy to see him when he comes to visit, 

he called me today's and asked me to take work off next Sunday I'm am 17 and I said I dunno if I can dad it's a bit soon then he just said it's really important please do. 

I knew then that something was wrong I guess he didn't want to upset me because he told all my sibling but not me I am his youngest child.

when my sister texted my mum saying he had cancer I didn't know how to feel it was only when she said it was the same cancer our neighbour died of after 2 months of having it that I got upset.

you never think about cancer and you never think about how it will affect your life but it does every day someone else is hurting, I hope my dad is ok so we can make up for lost time
