My stepson has cancer and will likely die

He is having multiple operations this month. If those are successful he has a 30% chance that his life may last another 5 years. If not, he will be gone by year's end. Bleak.

My wife and I live abroad. She will be returning to the states in a couple of days to help him out during these multiple surgeries this month. Meanwhile I have never been alone for more than a few days throughout my entire long life. I find the prospect beyond uncomfortable. I depend on my six loving dogs to see me through this.

On many levels, this has to be a low, low, low point in my life. I generally do not wish my life away, but I wish I could go to sleep and wake up tomorrow in March. Imagine, a dying (step)son and long lonely isolation simultaneously.

I have never found Rant Rampage more relevant than I do now. Nobody gives a rat's ass, bur I had to get this out. I know, I know, nobody gives a rat's ass. That said, human life is so fragile. Don't tell me about your girlfriends and boyfriends or how much you hate your patents. You have no idea what real pain is.
