After nearly four years of dealing with cancer, my stepfather passed away yesterday.
We were lucky to have him around as long as he was, since, we were told he only had a year at the most.
Seeing him last summer I was sure he wouldn't make it to Thanksgiving, but luckily we had him for not only Thanksgiving, but Christmas as well.
I am going to miss him :'(
Sorry to hear about that, Snake. :(

Sorry for your loss my friend.
My deepest condolences to you and your family...
Thomas, my deepest condolences. I lost my grandfather lately with cancer, so I feel for you deeply. Having known you a bit as I do, he was lucky to have you around as well.

Sorry to hear that, Snake. I lost my father to cancer, as well as a few friends. It's hard, and only gets easier with time....hang in there.
My condolences snake. I am very lucky to still have both my parents and my parents in law, but I do know how it feels to lose someone you love.
I don't know if this sounds a bit bad, but at least you knew it was coming and you had time to settle with it.
May he live in your heart and mind forever.
My condolences Snake.
My deepest condolences Tom. I have seen from close by what cancer can do when my next-door neighbour passed recently, yes it sucks. Try to remember him as you knew him and know that he will live on in the memories of all of you. My thoughts will go out to you and your family.
My condolences, Snake.
Deepest sympathies, Snake :(
It can't be easy for you.
I'm sorry to hear about that, Snake. But at least you had more time with him than expected, and hopefully it allowed everyone to come to better terms with his loss. Often it's when you lose someone in an instant that the pain and confusion last longer, and I write that from personal experience.
Sorry to hear about that :(
I know what it's like, I lost my father two years ago, too, thanks to cancer.
My sympathies.
Sorry for your loss.
And honestly, I'd prefer to lose a loved one in a much quicker fashion (heart attack). If you watch and care for them for several years while they struggle to survive, it'll make it that much harder to remember them for who they are. Instead you'll remember who they became. It can become a burden, and no one wants that responsibility or hardship for their loved ones or children.
My thoughts are with you and your family Snake. Just know that you are not alone.
My uncle died of cancer and my sister's father in law too. It's a horrible, painful way to lose someone. Losing my uncle was hard because I saw him change from the happy, strong man I knew as a child, but I cherish the good times I had with him. There will be good days and bad, all you can do is be thankful for the time you had together.
It's very hard loosing someone beloved. Take your time for mourning and slowly you'll be able to look back, seeing more and more of the nicer memories and at last you can remember them it with a little smile.
sincere condolences
Sorry, man.
Thank you for your kind words, everyone.
I've been sitting here wondering what to write to express my gratitude for this community, but I am drawing a blank - much like I do when I sit down to work on Leitor's Edge :P
So I will just leave it as, "Thank you and I appreciate all of you" :)
Now get back to work.
I wanted to respond but I didn't get much farther than the same 'I lost my grandfather to cancer and therefore I sort of kinda maybe understand how much that sucks, so my most honest condolences for your loss', but felt that that would be a bit empty.
Now, however, I wish to offer that sentiment anyway, because I feel like I should...
Much strength to you and your family!
That's very sad to hear. :'(
Just saw this now.
I'm very sorry to hear.
my condolences :(
Sorry Snake to hear about your step-dad. If you are a religious person, I would recommend trying to find comfort in the words found in John 5:25-29 and Job 14:13-15.
My condolences too, Snake
My own father had a similar battle with cancer some years back, which he also lost.
My condolences, Snake.
Sorry to hear that snake :( I completely understand what you're going through. I lost my mom 10 years ago...in CANCER...I hate that f*****g disease!!!!
Bro, I'm sorry. Sucks ass.
Sorry to hear that mate.
All the best to you and yours.
Sorry to hear about your stepfather's passing. I hate cancer. I know a lot of people that have passed away because of it. Be strong, keep inspiring with your games.
