My Dad Has Cancer

My dad (74) has prostate cancer and I (43) don't have anyone else but my wife to share this to. He is pretty private and doesn't like his business shared, which I understand but I am pretty beat up about this. He said the doctors are really positive about it and it hasn't spread but I'm still pretty frightened and scared. I have told my wife but not my kids, and none of my friends who also care about my dad.

I guess I'm just lost. I am awfully sad and worried. He's been my hero since I was old enough to know he existed (4 months? When do you understand someone is your dad?). He is the kindest, most wonderful man, father and grandfather. I mean, even tonight, he came to the batting cage with my kids (9 and 7) and me to watch them hit and give feedback. I'm breaking down right now typing this.

Thanks for listening.
