There is one word that never ceases to put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye, that word is Cancer.
Yesterday after an endoscopy and colonoscopy, we received the phone call you never want. The dr's had found a tumor on my Pop's stomach.
What you don't realise is my Pop is a Super Hero.
He is not your typical 82 year old man. He is extraordinary.
Just to give you a bit of an idea. For his 80th Birthday my mum and dad bought him a ticket to Bali. Yes, read that again and let your jaw drop for the second time....it's no typo. For his 80TH BIRTHDAY my parents bought him his first overseas holiday, a trip to BALI. I was also celebrating my 30th Birthday on this trip as was my gorgeous cousin. It was a magical and memorable holiday for us.
To share a little bit of our Pop's extraordinariness......here is him below on the water slides at Safari Park. YES, this man is 80 at the time of this photo!
This amazing man has 6 children, 19 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren with his 28th just announced. And....he is seriously the coolest guy ever. Everyone who meets him, LOVES him. Even people who don't really know him, they LOVE him too.
At this point we are waiting on further tests before the Dr's will give information regarding possible surgery or treatment but ALL of us have our fingers crossed and are praying hard for everything to be ok.
Pop is a fighter and has a huge support of people around him who love him so much.
He is an inspiration to me and a huge influence to everyone to live your life positively and without regret.
Pop, you are the most amazing man. Rely on those who love you and fight this with all your strength.
