Where have I been? Obviously not here. I have been preoccupied with many other tasks over the past week or so. As some of you already know, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer a few months back. While I'm not going to bring all the details here I will just state that there have been many ups and downs over the past few months to go along with the diagnoses.
Which leads me to where I have been.
With the diagnoses came a flood of emotions. I had no clue what to do with all those emotions. I wanted to do something but what? I decided to take those emotions and try to make a difference.
I have spent the better part of last week and this week putting together a new blog. This blog is all about cancer. It's about my journey with my father through this disease. I have big plans for the blog. Not only to chronicle my journey with my Dad but to also provide information about cancer, hope for those who are both suffering with the disease and those who are helping others through the disease.
I want to make a difference. If only one person receives help from my new blog, then indeed I have made a difference. While I may not have the means to donate a million dollars to the research of finding a cure for cancer, maybe I can supply the means for someone to cope with the disease. Maybe I can provide some sort of information for someone that somehow they have not seen before or that they have overlooked elsewhere.
After the new blog goes online tomorrow (Friday morning) I will be able to get back here to do some of my regular blogging duties again. I look forward to coming back and entertaining you again. I have missed posting here.
In tomorrow's post I will provide a link to the new blog for anyone who is interested to take a look. I would like to take a minute to thank my friends who over the past week have come to my rescue by helping me set up the new blog. I truly am blessed with a lot of awesome friends for which I am very grateful. Thank you!

I've known where you've been and I already knew the URL for your cancer blog (I stalk you silently on plurk to see how you're doing since each of our schedule don't seem to get along). I can't but admire you. I'm certain that the cancer blog will be helpful to many people, and I look forward to reading it. I hope it helps you as well. And I always keep you and your father in my thoughts. (((Big fat hugs)))
My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on a Friday and was dead by the following Tuesday, there weren't many ups, just one huge down. I hope your journey is a little better.
(((hugs))) You know I am pulling for you and your dad. I am so proud of you for taking steps to help him and to help yourself maintain your sanity through his whole ordeal.
Love you!
I absolutely love the new blog! I think it's a great thing you are doing for your dad, for yourself and for other people you don't even know.
I'm also very impressed with how quickly you got the blog up and running. You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers.
People like you are the ones who drive the world by the reins. You grab hold and kick, and everyone makes a quick decision to grab on to help or step back to let you go on by.
I love you, and am so impressed with everything you have done. I do not know if I could be that strong and amazing for anyone.
