I had thought that many things wouldn’t have changed by the time you really grow up. Obviously I was wrong. Completely wrong. Sickness was always cured with mom’s remedies and love. Dad’s strength helped you to keep trying or open the jar of strawberry jam. Especially, when you make your famous PB&J’s.

   Then time comes around when you become old enough to realize you have to do all this stuff. Like paying bills and having a job and going to college. Maybe you get married, maybe have kids, maybe move to a different country, and even maybe never do those things and become famous! LOL but lets get serious….

     When I really was young…I have always imagine that my father was this tall and strong man that nothing wrong could happen to him. Honestly, it came to where I believed my dad like Superman. Nothing can stand in the way of Superman, right?? With the child in me, it still believed that until I got the news that I couldn’t believe my ears. My dad was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate cancer. Both at the same time. Never thought it had happened to be true. Deep inside and as the oldest daughter, its very hard on me right now to be the strong one for my younger brother and sister. But I’ll try…

Always,

Panda
