My daddy is leaving me.

My dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer about two years ago and now hes in a hospice for his final days, i first found out he was going to die when i saw him. He was weak, his teeth were rotting, his eyes were yellowish and he was very weak, i didnt know what to say or do. i just cried, when i got home i wrote a letter to him. after i read it to him we were both upset and he just said i love you, it will be okay over and over again and i held his hand tight. i havent seen him since i have been at school and trying to distract myself and its been so hard, my teachers have been supporting me but i think the hardest thing is this girl called rachel in my school has been telling me im lying and told everyone else. thats the hardest thing, me being constantly reminded that my dad is gonna die. im just waiting for that day and its so hard to sleep and eat. im currently making a memory box. im currently 15 years old and i feel too young to lose him. im trying to ignore that rachel girl but its so hard when everyone thinks your lying about whats really goinhg on and reminding you, without thinking "what if its true, how could she be feeling?" i will post again soon after a few days :cry: :(

  • Hi

    I just wanted to say how brave you are being. My daughter is the same age as you. Year 10 right? It must have been an awful shock to see your Dad like that but you went. You saw him. You spent time with him. You wrote him a beautiful letter. He knows you love him and you know he loves you. The memory box is a lovely idea too. I cannot believe this girl at school is being so horrible. Do you have a Wellbeing unit or somewhere to go to if you need time out during school? It's great that school are being supportive but why have they not spoken to this girl about what she is saying?

    You are being so strong. I am sure other people will add their comments and make you feel welcome and supported. 

    Sending hugs

  • Hi there, 

    My daddy is also very ill. Im much much much older than you but feel everything you are too. You are amazingly brave and give me inspiration.

    Have you reported this horrid girl to a teacher or someone in your family? Please do so soon and remember you are important too and need to feel loved and supported so do not allow this horrid girl to treat you badly. You are worth 1 million times her.

    Love and light
