My Dad Kicks Ass

in the parking lot after my dad's appointment with the urologist, daddio may even have given me a double hug. (that's a hug with two whole arms, very unusual for a died-in-the wool one armer.) i was wiping my nose on my cold hand. my dad, so typical. "where's your car?" he asks. i pointed, over there. then, as he was shutting barb's car door he says, "it's just the word 'cancer' that scares you.... i'm not worried."

you believe this guy. he was cheering me up.
