When I was growing up, I used to think my dad was tougher than metal. He'd always tell me, "You can't hurt me, I'm made of steel." I'm pretty sure I believed him, too. He could rebuild a car, finish and remodel an entire house, fix any problem around the house and build a gigantic 3000 sq. foot garage by himself and never quit or rest. Now my strong, made-of-steel dad is in the hospital. The doctors think he has Stage IV Lung Cancer. We are all hopeful and are praying for a miracle. The results of the biopsy will be here in a few days and in the meantime, we can be grateful for so many things. My dad is the biggest joker around and he is in good sprits. Yesterday he was joking with the Dr. about how funny he'd look bald (if he lost his hair in radiation or kemo). Nothing is certain and now we wait to find out what the tests say. We love you Dad!!
