Your dad sounds like a wonderful person and serving his community in that way brought so much to you and your work and I thank you for that and him
My perspective is that of a spouse. My children are all grown but in their mid 30s fortunately they have families they lost their father and I lost my spouse and when you said pancreatic cancer, that’s what we dealt with because he was in medicine. He was very careful he was not overweight had no concurrent underlying issues. Nothing that would make you suspect a thing all he had was indigestion and so towards the end of the pandemic because he had to lay up in bed and couldn’t deal with his patient sbecause he was so tired that sent him to his physician.
Before he could be treated, he had to have his Covid test, even though he was fully vaccinated for work and It was negative the next day he was in for CT scan. He immediately knew it was bad.
And a little more than three weeks later, he was dead
So Father’s Day is a tough one and I’m not over it yet. My kids suffer in their own ways. It’s been less than two years. It’s still so fresh because there was no chance for anything and with pancreatic it’s rough anyway.
