I debated doing this.

[varcity]

I'm one who hates giving out a cry for personal help and comments, etc. I just don't like drawing attention to myself unless singing in VMK where my voice is beautiful. That and I prefer to help everyone else before they help me anyways. So I wasn't going to post this, but it's a little different and a little more difficult this time around.

My Aunt, or my Nanny as all the kids my age and younger title her, was diagnosed with cancer last year sometime. She fought and we were told she won. So when I got back from Mexico we found out that it's back. No one is telling the kids much about it partly because they don't want to scare us and mostly because she pretty much dissociated herself from the family about 10-12 years ago. That makes it the hardest because she only talks to her husband and daughter. She ignores her brother (my dad), her sister, one of her daughters, and even her mom (her dad passed from cancer in 1998 while my family was in WDW, double the depression on that one.)

Anyways, I think I would be fine if I hadn't over heard somethings being mentioned. My dad is talking about flying out there despite all the bad blood that goes on between them. So my mom made metion to someone on the phone that she wants my dad to go out there just to say goodbye. That's the worst part.

So, prayers, thoughts, pixie dust. Thanks guys

[terri.m]

for you all. So sorry your family is going thru this.

[Mr. Tom Morrow]

Sorry to hear your going through a hard time right now. I do think it's a good thing that your dad goes out there right now, because bad blood or not family is family and it's good to say goodbye.
Hope your doing ok and all the best

Aww so sorry this is going on Varcity it must be difficult for nobody to tell you anything especially since you over heard that one part of the conversation. Here is some prayers and that it will get better.

[Jeremy]

Here is some prayers and pixie dust for you and your family my friend.

[WDWfanatic742]

[mrsgaribaldi]

Prayers and on the way.

[Chescat]

I'm so sorry Varcity. I know you were so excited after getting back from your trip. Its is good your dad is going. He needs things settled in for him. Big hugs and pixie dust for you and your family.

You know your mummy cat is here when you need me. I seem to be an expert in these matters over the last 6 months.

[Dizneyfan]

So sorry to hear about your aunt. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Major prayers and pixie dust dude. I understand the "bad blood" feeling all too well; my brother's and I fueded like crazy off and on most of our adult lives (and one brother just stopped even contacting us) until my Mom's cancer had come back a couple of years ago. After her passing, all of our family from here to out were you are & up to our nation's capital keep very close contact with each other now. It's a shame that it takes tragedy to bring families back together. Good luck to you & yours!

[janmathatter]

Varcity, please give my thoughts and prayers to your family. Your dad is doing the right thing. Your bay be hopes that you will know that I'm here if you ever need to talk.

[varcity]

Thanks for the comments. When the time comes I'll let my dad know my thought as well as Tom's thought (since they are pretty much the same) on him going. But as I type this and he reads paper work next to me, he seems unconcerned so maybe it is I who is over reacting? Oh well.

Cat, you really are the expert, should have been a doctor

Thanks everyone!!

[RenDuran]

Varcity, I feel for you and your family right now. I'm glad that your dad is going to see his sister. I wish they were getting to see each other on good terms and not because of your aunt's illness, but I'm glad your dad is putting all that bad history aside and going to see her. When she is gone he'll be glad that he did. You and your entire family are in my thoughts.

[mickeynuts]

I'm here for you Varcity, lots of prayers going up for you and your family.

[Blue Genie]

I'm not good in words for stuff like this but here for your family.

[Thumper03]

Been there and had to do that. Hope all goes well. It will give your dad some needed peace and hopefully your aunt as well. Often, in these cases, it is pride that keeps people apart. Hope compassion and forgiveness for the past are taken in the spirit they are intended.
Good luck.

Varcity,

I hope that all is well, and I know all too well that family issue.

My thoughts are with you and her.

[Patricia]

I'm glad your Dad is going. It's important for them both to have that closure.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

[bigpapiortiz34]

I am very sorry to hear of this Varcity. My thoughts are with your family and your family at this time.

Sending loads of pixie dust and prayers to help!
