Comments on: My father + doctors = ASSHATS http://www.clobberblog.com/?p=16 Mormonism, Evangelical Christianity & More Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:54:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jennifer Jeffries http://www.clobberblog.com/?p=16&cpage=1#comment-26 Jennifer Jeffries Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:45:31 +0000 http://clobbergirl.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/my-father-doctors-asshats/#comment-26 Im not mad at you or him, i was simply posting how i felt about it. i acknowledged the fact that you had posted it awhile ago, i just couldnt pass up posting the way i felt when i read it. no worries, and i wasnt asking you to take it down. I just wanted to post my thoughts. I know dad can get under our skin, but mom was always a touchy subject to him and he wanted to believe she could make it and prepare himself if she didnt. i understand how you felt at the time. I often stopped dad from telling me updates with mom that started out negative because I knew all the negative aspects of her cancer, i just didnt want to relate those to mom cause shes always been strong in my eyes, and she will always be my idea of what true strength is. :) Im not mad at you or him, i was simply posting how i felt about it.

I said things out of anger that I wouldn't post now, but I'm not taking it down because I don't believe in rewriting history. I said it, I'll live with it. Everything you've said is true. I'm trying hard to be there for Dad. I feel horrible for him, and I worry about him. Don't be mad at Zack, he's an online friend who was just trying to empathize with me.

He may not know how to use a computer very well but my god he did a hell of a job taking caring of mom for the last year. and as much as dad was realistic of moms cancer, he still believed in her and saw her portray strength that every doctor said she didnt have. Dad was hopeful yet realistic because he was trying to prepare himself for moms death. he knew the odds were against her and part of him didnt want to believe he would have to live without her. He told me that when mom found out she had cancer, she wanted him to go with her when she died. Later on down the road, he knew he couldnt possibly do that to us kids or to harley... Dads a mess. An inmate told him today that she hopes "his wife gets cancer and dies." Most of the time when i see him, we end up talking about mom and he always looks like hes been crying, is crying, or is about to cry. I know this post was a long time ago, and even i got annoyed by dad saying and doing things in front of mom, but at the end of the day she was the love his life and he really needs his kids to be there for him right now because he honestly feels as if he has "nobody." I love you bridget, and i love harley too. Dad loves us, and we really need to show him we are here for him because we cant possibly understand how he feels. I take the way i feel (which is mostly heartache on a daily basis) and times in by a couple billion so that i can try to imagine how dad feels, but i know that still isnt close to it. oh and also, i think its neat you got moms memorial slideshow on youtube. :) i came across your blog. i really shouldnt post a comment cause this was awhile ago but im offended that this guy called my dad a “dipstick” (is he 15?)

I recently lost a relative as well, and the family fought till the bitter end. I think the loved one deserves that. You’re dad is a dipstick [obviously...although LOL at why he uses the internet].
