So very sad. My own son's name is Isaac.

 

[Matias]

My daughter is a year and change older than Isaac. I hope he gets through this alright. I lost my dad when I was 15, and it still fucks me up some days.

Woof, feels so close to home. My kiddo is 8 next month. Thx for tracking down the link.

As a father, I grieve for his son. As a son (old man now) I grieve for his (Isaac's) Dad

My pops was diagnosed with cancer when I was about 5. He spent years on and off his deathbed.
He passed just before my 21st.
We were able to have a relationship but it was a epic roller coaster for us both.

I greatly appreciate the relationship we had but it had its double edge, and in the back of my mind I’ve always wondered what is worse. Slow and painful or sudden and painful.

It's so hard to compare, and I hope none of has to know exactly what that difference is

We are not kids any more but my wife lost her dad from late diagnosis terminal cancer in October. Pretty quick, blindsided. Everyone is still reeling. Today would be his birthday, that he shared with our daughter. Wife lost her little brother to his own hand 20 years ago…rough.
My dad died in December after being sick for a while. He was older than my FIL and we weren’t close, so it wasn’t as bad, which has it’s own sadness.
