Scott I am very sorry, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. I to have an awesome father who has always been there for me to help push me to new accomplishments. I also got my love for Aquariums and also muscle cars from my dad, all my childhood memories revolve around these due to my dads great passions. Your article teared me up thinking about great times. Keep your head up Scott were here for you.

Prayers bud! Glad to hear your father was a true father who instilled in his son s passion for something in this world!
 
Scott, I am sad to say that I empathize with what you are going through because I have been in your shoes and as the previous poster/oncologist so eloquently stated, "cancer does suck!" I personally went through this with my mother, well my mother in law whom I looked upon with the same regard as my mom, two and a half years ago. I feel for you Braah and my condolences go out to you and your family. So much of your story reminded me of my childhood. Metaframe and Pemco tanks and wrought iron stands. As for your advice, in a word, Amen. God bless you and peace
 
Sorry for you loss Scott. My Dad is fighting cancer right now - wish I had a tank set up right now so I could participate in Corals For A Cure. I may just have to buy something anyways and ship it to a buddy - for your Dad, and for mine.
 
Sorry to hear about your dads passing. I just lost my mom to that awful disease a couple months ago. She was just like your dad always encouraging me with whatever I enjoyed. When I won a goldfish at a school carnival when I was in 3rd grade and it lived overnight we went to the LFS and got what it needed and as I got more involved in the hobby she never said no. I plan on being the same way with my kids to encourage them in whatever they show interest in.
 
Hello everyone,

This past week has been one of the most unforgettable, yet painful of my life. Through it all, I have been deeply, deeply touched by the tremendous outpouring of love from our community. Many of you shared stories of family members who's lives have been shortened by cancer or other diseases; all offered support and prayers.

I cannot tell you how much your genuine concern means to me and to my family. The honest, open support and sharing of experiences exemplifies why reefers are fantastic people, who show so much care and support for others. I am truly blessed to be a part of such a magnificent community.

As I had mentioned previously, we will be launching our charity, “Corals for The Cure”, this week on the UC website, and I am already gratified by the pledges of support that we have received. Thank you so much for this. It’s my hope that we can create a charity that will help raise awareness and, perhaps, help fund research that will lead to a cure for this dreadful disease.

To all of you who have sent words of support- and to all of those who have loved ones facing life-threatening challenges, and especially to those who’s loved ones battled courageously and lost their battles- my thoughts, prayers, and love are with you.

Together, we are a vital, dynamic community that can face challenges, and support each other throughout our lives, for the betterment of all.

Thank you once again for your tremendous outpouring of support.

As always,

Stay Wet.

I'm sorry I'm late to this, and I'm so sorry about your dad, he sounds like a really good guy!

I have been touched by cancer too, and I completely agree with ya, we HAVE to find a cure for this disease, to honor those we've lost that fought hard and help the next families and for those still fighting...I'm praying for ya and your family..and I'll definitely support your charity!
 
Wow Scott I swear we were talking about your dad the other day and I never would have imagined it would be his time this soon. I cried reading this for things it made me feel about my own life, I cried for you , but most of all I cried for your dad. I am sooo sorry for the world's loss. He truely sounded like a perfect example of what a good father should be and you are and were a good son to him as well. I hope things lighten up from his passing for you and for only good to be in your life for now (as I'm sure he's up there making sure of that for you). You are a great man and it would seem that this was due to a great man that raised you. God bless!
