HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO SUZY'S DAD My dad, a former military man, is a shadow of what he used to be.  Its so hard for me to talk about him without crying.  He did so much for us when we were kids (providing home etc).  He wasnt there physically much due to work (tours of duty work etc) but in his later years he has been there very much so. Its hard for me.  He is a cancer survivor, i say that sort of with trepidation for he does not seem to be well.  We went for a bbq at their house today, and my dad just doesnt look well. He is very thin, more so than I remember him from even the last time I saw him.  It hurts me so bad to see him. His memory is not good.  I sent him a video with Albert in it and he did not even realize that it was Albert.  Its so hard seeing my dad, who was such a strong man, reduced to this sad shadow.  He is declared cancer free, but to me the disease is still affecting him.  He now has alzheimers, but also has other health issues. When he goes to the docs he puts things in his pockets and this last time he took a bunch of meds to fool the docs into thinking he didnt need to have his blood taken (he has to have a pint out every few months as it gets very thick and he cannot take blood thinners) so i am very worried about him.   JUNE 3, 2007  html by Shani J @Sparks~please do not remove credits
