A long couple of weeks

Well,things have taken a turn for the worse for my dad. The chemo did its job on the cancer.They had stopped it's growth and things were looking good. Two days later he found himself on his death bed. By the time my family was able to talk to me and got to the hospital,he was already on morphine and was pretty much out of it. I was taking a class over the weekend and was hard to get in touch with. Went to school thinking my dad would be coming home to getting the call he has a very short time to live. Needless to say it was a very hard decision about working this week. He was holding steady so I took a short run out and working my way back. I'm back in Wisconsin right know but won't be home until tomorrow.My mom called me about a half hour ago and said it should be over in the next 24 hrs. To keep from going crazy I got the laptop out and keeping my mind busy while my dispatcher works on getting me home. I don't want to just drop this load and head for home. It's not my nature to do that. That and I know my dad would kick my a-- if I did that. Make sure everything will be taken care of at work and then head home. It's very hard to be away and know he could be dead at any time now.
