Val,
I so agree with Lainy that taking everything one day at a time is the right thing to do. I did that too when I lost my dad and I know that things are tough for you right now. Please know as well that we are all here for you too.
Hugs,
Gavin
You are right Val, taking it day by day is the best you can do and one day all of a sudden all of your wonderful good memories will over take the bad and you will also feel your Dad around you much of the time. I am sure he would want you to carry on and be happy and I know he had to be so very proud of you!
Thanks everyone for the kind words. We are taking it day by day now, I really have no better plans.
I hope the day cholangiocarcinoma is history is just around the corner and there’s no more sufferings for anyone anymore.
Sincerely yours,
ValAs a Stage IV patient, I know this is in my future. I can think of no finer way to pass on than you have described. My prayers for you and your family, especially your mother.

Dearest Val, I am so very sorry about your Dad and I know he loved you with his whole heart! What a magnificent Daughter you have been and will always be. I am sure he will always be around you. Please accept my humble condolences going out to you and your family.
I’m at your side each night and day,
In your heart is where I’ll stay.
You can feel, see or hear, I am not gone, I’m always near.
I’m the colorful leaves when fall comes round,
The pure white snow that blankets ground.
I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in Spring.
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you’ll see that the face in the moon is mine.
I’ll whisper your name through the leaves on the trees,
And you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I’m the salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me, I’m every place!My dad, SH Wong, ended his battle with this horrible disease on Monday (9/
at 13:09 at the age of 67 with all his family members beside him. With the excellent care at the hospital, he did not suffer too much physical pain and discomfort in his last days. My mom spent the last 5 weeks in the hospital by his side, and in the last 24hours I also stayed by him. We were able to chat, watch a bit of soccer and listen to the news in the last hours.
I am grateful for the time we got to spend together. He is my best friend and my partner in crimes for 36 years. He’s happily married to Amy (née Chow) for 43 years, and has 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Looking back his life, he was able to enjoy most parts of it until the disease took a turn for the worse this Spring with extensive bone metastasis. He enjoys nature, food, music and watching soccer. This year’s World Cup was the last major highlight in his life.
While he’s only gone for less than 60hours, I am still trying to make sense of this. I want nothing, nothing but to see him. Until the day we meet again…
My prayers go out to those fighting the disease, and to those supporting their loved ones. Lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the advice and support you all gave me.
