A father story the world needs to hear

I spent my life working hard to become “somebody”. My family was barely put together and I took on more traits of my father than I care to admit. / pushed as hard as I could and fought to get educated. The odds were literally against me as i sat for my licensing exam to be a Land Surveyor in the state of Texas. I achieved it. I passed everything the first try. I maintained a healthy lifestyle. I skipped many bad meals. I believed in a karma system and often did for others. It didn’t matter. I am 30 years old and I have stage 2 gastric cancer. My odds of surviving are very low. You know what’s the worst of it? Looking my 9 month old son, my pride and joy, in the eyes and only being able to cry.
