[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 441797, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#000080][SIZE=2]Thanks Marg. H has wanted to sit down with his mother for years and get some stuff on tape, but seems we're never with them long enough to do so. His father would not cooperate if H tried to do that. I suggested just being conversational and secretly taping him. My family videotaped my dad once when we were visiting him at the care center - got him telling great stories, my mom playing cards with the grands, and laughing, singing, having a nice time. There was still that certain element of meloncholy, but I have the tape and occasionally look at it. My oldest sister and I watched it with my Mom about a year ago and it was interesting. I think my mom wanted to jump into the television to be with my dad - the longing was so apparent in her eyes, she missed him so much. My perspective is so different now from what it was at that time, nearly 20 years ago. Good stuff. Like I said in earlier posts, I think we all realize it's not a good prognosis, though his sister seems to think they may be able to remove, do chemo and be done with it. She's had cancer and that's what happened with her, but she may be forgetting that she was/is way younger and healthier than her dad.
