When my dad first got cancer, I was 9 years old. At that age you don't really understand what is going on, and don't think that your parents can get sick, especially your dad, who is supposed to be Superman (my dad's favorite superhero). During his first intermission and as I got older, I understood more of what was going on. Even though he did not have cancer during that time, he had many other issues stemming from it,which I still remember today and how hard it was for him. Even with those health issues, he tried to be the best husband and father he could. He loved working outside and with his hands, which cancer could never take away, especially with how stubborn he was. That is what always inspired me most about him, even with literal poison being pumped through him and other medication that he had to take, he still persevered through that. Looking back, his dependence on God to get him through that was even more inspiring. His first intermission lasted until my sophomore year in high school.
Thanks for reading and God Bless,
