An update - I flew into CA on the 27th, been either at the hospital or eating/napping since. Butting heads with my stepmom, but that's set aside for my dad's sake. Now it's just waiting. The doctors and nurses keep him comfortable, and he's on dialysis because his kidneys and liver have completely failed. The cancer is in his heart, but by some small miracle it's not in his brain. When he's not sleeping he's lucid, and that's wonderful. This stuff is aggressive as hell, and I knew he was terminal when I flew out.
My brother supports me, even if he disagrees with me. All of the old hurts are forgiven, forgotten, and buried. My dad actually cried at the picture of my brother and I together.
My dad knows his days are short, short numbered. He may be doped up, but he isn't dumb. We're making the most we can with what time is left. For now, I'm going to stuff some food down my neck and get some sleep. This board has been a great distraction in the wee hours of the morning while he sleeps, and I appreciate all the replies.
My brother and I, all the past behind us. I'm the skinny guy with the beard.
