[cw: cancer, family illness]
Wayward Haze
My dad's cancer came back.
Wayward Haze
He found out because he was doing tests to get on the list for a liver transplant.
Wayward Haze
Basically, this means that he's got ... maybe two months left.
Wayward Haze
Lore is figuring out a way to get us down to Florida for a week, starting this coming weekend.
shinotenshi22
huggles you I"m so sorry
Wayward Haze
My dad is amazing. There's so much of him in me. I know he won't be gone, but ... this isn't fair.
shinotenshi22
would you like me to pray for strength for you all?
ʙᴀᴛᴛʟᴇ☆ᴀʀᴍᴏʀ
oh god. I'm so, so sorry
Wayward Haze
I'm going to use tags as a distraction so they'll still happen a bit, but ... I'm not gonna be exactly th best.
Wayward Haze
shinotenshi22
: Please. Especially my mother. She's already been a caretaker for FIVE family members that died of cancer or other terminal things. She doesn't deserve this.
Wayward Haze
We may have our problems but none of them are big enough for me to not be heartbroken for her.
Wayward Haze
Their anniversary is on the 23rd and it breaks my heart to think this is going to be the last one
shinotenshi22
nods Anyone specific you'd like me to pray to?
shinotenshi22
(I have a few in mind already)
Wayward Haze
Rhiannon, please.
Tallorance
I'm so sorry Hazel.
shinotenshi22
nod I'll reach out
shinotenshi22
my love and support to all of you during this time.

I am so sorry, Hazel. I really wish I knew what to say, but I don’t. That said, let us know if you need anything. There’s no pressure to be at your best at all right now. I love you.

Meow Knight
Oh my god, Hazel, I'm so sorry.
[unpleasant]
+1 to everyone else offering people to talk to if you need anything at all. I know I don't know you well, but are more prayers okay?

i’m so sorry, hazel. I’m keeping your family in my thoughts.
Wayward Haze
Thoughts, prayers, good vibes, whatever form you wish them to take, if you feel like you want to, I will take them.
[unpleasant]
expect crows in the coming days
Wayward Haze
I like crows. Corvids are the best.
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶

Galinda
damn I'm so sorry
toomanydogs
I'm so sorry...
skipthedemon
I am so sorry. My thoughts will be with your family
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
I.... fuck. I can't- I don't know what to say. I love your parents. I still have the boots they bought me. I remember your dad making jokes at the table and your mom packing up sandwiches for the road.
Just Lore
Given the price of airfare and the desire to not deal with strangers during this time, we're going to drive it. NH to Florida.
Just Lore
Thank you all for your love. It took a bit for me to be fully welcomed into the family, but once I was, it always felt like home.
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
That's a good idea, it definitely helps you control who you're exposed to. I don't know what to say except that...we're all praying for you and your family.
6LilacMimeLions
that is a lot of driving
6LilacMimeLions
gonna break dc-ish, i hope?
6LilacMimeLions
(why yes i have done that drive)
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
It is a drive. I've gone from S. MD to NH and from S. MD to Key West, but I've never done a complete top to bottom like that before.
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
Just drive carefully. Watch out for the NJ turnpike, it's not cheap. Maryland is an asshole about tolls, too.
тнυη∂єя кιттєη
usually the highways are better with snow removal and safety, but you have to watch out for the other morons on the road.
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
You could probably just stay on 95 the whole way down. Tolls, though.
HᴏᴍᴇʟᴏᴀF
I'll be praying too. /hug
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
If you swing near us, let us know if there's anything we can help you with. We can throw food at your car as you pass DC, or S.MD is out of the way, but our washing machine and a spare bed are open to you. Just let us know how we can help.
Just Lore
Thanks!! We might go straight through on the way down, but we want to stop for a couple of visits on the way back.
Just Lore
We're still figuring shit out. ❤️
Just Lore
I... Also need to see if I can secure the time off.
ᴼᴴ ᶠᴼᴿ 🦊 ˢᴬᴷᴱ
I mean I'd love to see you both, but yeah, not at the expense of delaying you. This is just like..if you need something and I'm nearby, I'll be there.
Just Lore
Thanks, love!
space witch
oh no, I'm so sorry
space witch
if you're anywhere near me on the way back and need anything at all lmk
Tanks4theMemory
Oh no... I'm so sorry.
𝓢𝓮𝓷𝓭🎄𝓛𝔀𝔂𝓭𝓼
I'm so sorry. If you can think of anything at all I can do, let me know. You'll be in my thoughts for sure.
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
oh no I'm sorry I hope you guys are able to get down there ok
Wayward Haze
Thanks, everyone. We went grocery shopping and I inhaled a giant bowl of cinnamon LIfe because it was our comfort cereal and we'd fight over who got the last of it when I was a kid
Wayward Haze
He got so mad when I discovered I liked "the grown up cereal for Dad" and started eating it too, hehe.
Wayward Haze
And then it was like, A Thing, Mom would bring the groceries in and go "and I got the BIG BOX Of LIfe for the two of you e_e" and Dad and I would just grin at each other because we knew she wasn't really annoyed
Wayward Haze
I love them both so much.
Wayward Haze
I'm going to dive into my inboxes now so I'm not just sitting here crying.
