Hmm.. What kind of advice can I give? Any kind you'd like. Advice on relationships (all types) Getting out of trouble(my specialty) Sarcasim is always fun.
Giving advice is something I do best, I'll awnser any question you'd like, unless they're stupid and extremely pointless ones.
About me?- I like playing basketball, I'm still in Highschool, doing things that will get me in trouble, but always being good enough to get out of it.
My friends mean the world to me, without them I don't know what'd I do.
I could go on, but I don't think I will.
Anyways, if you do ask me questions, try to hold back on tYpInG lyK diZ N sTuFf alright. Other than that Anything you want to know I'll do my best to help with :)
advice
I just found out that my dad has lung cancer and things are not looking good. he lives 2 hours away and I am 24 with a family of my own but I was just wondering: What are some positive, inspirational, and supportive things I can say to get him through this time no matter what the outcome...how can I help him through this? I have so much passion and emotion inside and I know what to say in my head, but I am so bad at expressing how I feel in the moment. This is the one time in my life where it's extremely important to say and do things right, but I still seem to only cry when I'm alone or think of good things to say only AFTER a situation. I feel I'm not being what I want to be for him to my full potential. Thank you to anyone who can help!!
First off, I'd like to say that I'm soo sorry to hear that. Right now there's no right words to say, YOU alone, and not your words will be his only inspiration at this time. His family is all that's probably going to be keeping him going at this point and time. Enjoy doing hobbies with him, enjoy his company. By doing that you'll be making his time on this Earth all worth while, and a very happy man. If you keep him happy, and in high spirits, I beleive it will make all the diffrence in his road to recovery, no matter how far that recovery will go. Think positive at all times, and try not to acknowledge that he really might be dying. That seems like the wrong advice in times like this, of course acknowledge it, but don't let it keep you from doing things with him that he'd want to do. By making him feel llike he's still the same man, it'll help keep him going. He's now at a point in his life, where the main thing he probably wants to do is spend time with the ones he loves. That's the best thing to do in this time. And if the subject of his cancer does come up, keep nothing but positive things about it. Show him how much he means to you, and it'll make all the difference. I really do hope good things turn out for you in this situations, your dad will be in my prayers.
