A) No one is going to read it
B) If someone does read it, they won't care what I have to say.
When I think of 'bloggers', I think of these zit faced, uber-nerdy, Star Wars loving, never-been-kissed guys who sit in their 'man cave' ( aka their mom's basement) and type their daily musings and deep thoughts about life, love and, oh I don't know... aliens.
But still, here I am, in the expanse known as Google writing on my.....blog. But I'm going to try to put all my preconceived ideas aside for a moment and be totally honest.
My dad has cancer. And I am his 25 year old daughter who is trying to deal with it.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer not once, but twice. He still fights everyday to keep his cancer in remission. My father is all but blind so he relies on me to take him places while my mom is at work and my siblings are at school. Whether he needs chemo or groceries, I'd do anything for my dad, I love him. I spend a lot of time with him and sometimes, all the time I do spend with him is just not enough. I'm learning to deal with it, to live with it, as he is living with this disease.
So despite my feelings about blogs, I'm going to use this as a way to empty my soul and maybe give some insight and encouragement to those going through a similar situation. It will be therapeutic for me and maybe you will prove me wrong and read my blog and care about what I have to say after all.
But that idea of bloggers hiding out in their parent's basement, typing away just cracks me up.
