Thank you for posting this, Xeni.
In a very unfortunate coincidence, I just found out a few hours ago that my father-in-law has pancreatic cancer. My wife calls it “the aggressive kind,” so perhaps that means it’s metastatic? It wasn’t entirely unexpected as he has visibly deteriorated in the past few weeks and my mother-in-law has been acting odd so we knew something like this was up. Still, I am gutted.
What’s more, he seemed to lose interest in life years ago, but always said he wanted to stay alive long enough to dance at his daughter’s wedding. And we never had a real wedding (always postponing it), just a small civil ceremony. Well, I guess he probably won’t get the chance to do it now, but this post has just given me a fantastic idea instead, thanks to you!
