Introduction

My dad told me starting a blog about all this might make me feel better, so here I am.

Hi. My name is Beth, I’m 16, and my dad has terminal cancer.

He was diagnosed a year ago. Maybe even two. The months have all mushed into one with everything going on in the world right now, but I’m pretty sure it’s been around one year.

It was a shock to all of us. Getting cancer is never something you want to hear about, especially a close family member having it. It seems to be a thing that’s running through our family though.

I’m going to share our story here. His story. We aren’t sure how long he has, and we don’t particularly want to. All we can do is hope it’s a long time.

To anyone who might stumble upon this, thank you for taking the time to read it. I’m not expecting anyone to care, and I’m not looking for sympathy either. I’m looking for an outlet. Something that’ll help me express myself; how I feel about all this.

I’ve always loved writing, so I hope this will bring me some sort of relief.
