Dear genealogical internet friend. I understand, as I took care of my dad in
the last year of his 21 year fight with many cancers.  He was 81.  In late
middle age he was diagnosed as bi-polar, this explained my horrible
childhood subject to his rath and anger; the wonderful part is his illness
forced him to depend on me, he lost his arrogance, became sincerely humble
and wiser, and our last years were wonderful.  He even helped me with my
genealogy, something as an engineer who "disliked the human equation", was a
wonderful shared experience, just as your anger, and sincere regret has, I
hope, brought you and I, and hopefully, all or most of us closer.  As to
this being not totally only genealogy; the essence of genealogy is people,
alive and real, or deceased and once real people, with strengths and faults
and lives lived between the statistics of birth and death dates.  Genealogy
is not just statistics, it's also people, and people's inter-relation ships.
Something besides statistics, as in all things, still needs balance though.
Best wish's on both your chemo and genealogy.  Jim. Charlotte, N.C.
