I was excited a few days ago hearing my surgery date was moved up to May 23. A few days ago my father went into the hospital to have a lobectomy. He is now in ICU on life support.

They filmed him just out of surgery, barely unable to speak but he smiled and mentioned my surgery. I live out of state but hope he is still there on Wednesday when Im able to visit.

I'm so sad wondering if he will be around, concerned if he is suffering, right now they medicated him so he cannot move. He's up and down. It feels like a lot on my plate.

I feel heart heavy, that my personal happiness is also mixed with one of the most heartbreaking hurdles in my life.

Thinking of my father, praying for his health, hoping for the best. He would want me to be healthy.

I love you dad.

I'm so sorry [emoji173]️

So very sorry for your loss

I'm going to make my goal weight in two years, I'm doing this for me, but also him. He encouraged me and didn't want me to fail. Our last conversation he expressed how proud of me he is.

Failure is not an option.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, also kindness. There is comfort in strangers, regardless of distance or ethnicity.

So, thank you. I mean that.

Deepest condolences. You and your family are in my prayers.

I went through this myself with my father just a month ago. I know how tough it is. My heart goes out to you.

My condolences and comfort to you.

I am sincerely so sorry for your loss. My Papa also passed away 1 year ago on June 1st. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
