my dad was strong and so smart, he was funny and caring. he would always give me amazing hugs and so much affection. he never looked sick.

summer 2013:

can you imagine a trip to disney with your parents who you love so dearly? not many people can afford a trip like that but fortunately with the money my parents had been saving for years we had that possibility.

we had decided that my dad and i would be driving down to florida and my mom would take a plane once we arrived. it was on the first day driving when i realized my dad didn't look so well but i just assumed he was tired or had a cold so i let it slip, but as the days went on he keep getting more sick and would often throw up. i wasn't used to see my dad like this so i got so concerned and a bit scared that something was seriously wrong, but again i let it slip 

"it must be a cold" i thought.....

when we finally arrived to florida he started to look a bit better and we picked up my mom.

we started going to the disney parks during that week until Thursday, my dad wasn't going well at all, he could barely walk without getting super tired after 10 minutes.

we called the ambulance but he refused to go inside. he didn't want to look hopeless, he wanted to look strong for his wife and daughter, so we drove down to the hospital.

once we were there we waiting almost 4 hours until a doctor pulled him in and said he had a major tumour in his stomach area and it was probably cancerous.

even if my dad was scared he walked out of that hospital with the biggest smile and little to no worry showing.

we went back to out hotel room ( room 9004 ) and i didn't know how i felt. 

"was he going to be okay?"

"will he walk me on my wedding day?"

no one knew, but my dad still stayed strong and decided to stay all week at disney and leave after the week.

i still remember him renting a electric "old people scooter" and drive around like a maniac just to make people laugh.

he always did make people feel better, but he never focused on himself....
