Debts put into perspective

happyhaddock_2

Hi all, sorry I've not been posting much but my Dad was taken into hospital early Monday morning:(. We were told he has cancer and to prepare for the worst. The good news is that he is a fighter and is still with us but it has certainly put my problems into perspective, what is the point in worrying about it all:(

Hi HH.

Very sorry to hear that. I agree things like that do change your priorities and put things into perspective.

Wishing all of you all the best.
Take care.

Sorry to hear your news. It goes to show that we spend a lot of time worrying about things that are not really important when you look at the whole picture. There is always a solution to a debt problem - but you only have one Dad, and although you know he won't be around forever, it is not nice to suddenly be told his "exit date" is closer than it should be. I really hope that, however much time he has left, whether it's days, weeks, months or even years, those days are spent having the time of his life in comfort with his family and friends.

Hi Happyhaddock,

Have just seen your post and want to say how sorry I was to hear your news. And if your dad is a fighter let's hope it's not as bad as it sounds. At least he has you helping him to fight it!

You have been very supportive to me when I first started to "confess" my own problems so I just wanted to return the compliment.

And you are so right, it does put all the agonising about money into perspective.

Big hugs.

I really feel for you and your family, my Mum passed away four years ago after a very short stay in hospital and I miss her every day. We didn't have the opportunity to say all that should have been said as she deteriorated very quickly so please learn from my experience and make sure your Dad knows how much you love him and how grateful you are for everything.

The immediate future is going to be tough for all of you but you will get through it, some how you find a way to breath in and out and out one foot in front of the other. We will all be here thinking of you and willing you through this awful experience. Come back to offload whenever you want.

And yes, money worries pale in to insignificance at times like this.....

Don`t normally post here but just to say sorry at your news. My Dad had dementia and passed away nearly 20 years ago. I lost my Mum 15 years ago.

I am an old guy now, but never a day goes pass when I remember them. Hope one day to be reunited.

So sorry to hear your sad news. I hope your dad is as comfortable as he can be.

Thank you ALL for your very kind words. Wasn't really looking for sympathy, just wanted to share with you how insignificant our money problems are in the whole scheme of things. But I am really touched and grateful for your kind thoughts. I will certainly let my dad know how loved he is in these precious moments that we have left:A
