I'm so sorry to hear that! (And don't feel guilty. I think it's natural to want him to be there for it.)

I keep thinking the same thiing - please let me get pregnant and have a baby so he/she can meet his grandpa.

I'm sorry your Dad isn't doing well. I think it's only nature to feel the way you do.

Sorry to hear your dad isn't doing well. Don't feel guilty. When I was having trouble conceiving and my dad was first diagnosed with cancer, I worried every day. It's natural. Sending good thoughts your way.

Oh honey you mustn't feel guilty. Of course you want your father to see his grandchild. Here's hoping that he does. Much love to you all.

Hi Torrie. This is my first time posting a comment but I wanted to write and say that it is very normal for you to want your daddy to be here when you give birth to your first child. I lost my daddy in January to cancer. He was only supposed to survive 6 months, but due to my mom's perserverance (buying all these herbal and chinese remedies) I believe that gave him strength and he lasted almost 2 years. My dad was here to see my first son born, however, I am pregnant now-18weeks and I hate that my 2nd son will never get the chance to know how wonderful his papa was firsthand, only from my stories. I pray that your daddy can hold on, not only for your baby's sake but yours and his as well. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

He's your daddy, there's no reason to feel guilty. I'm sure he feels the exact same way, Tor. *HUGS*

Don't feel guilty. Of course you want him to see the baby and be there for you. I'm sure he wants the very same thing.

I've felt the same way about older relatives. I don't think it's selfish. Like candace said, I'm sure he wants the same thing. I hope his condition improves.

I am sorry and please don't feel bad. These wishes seem totally normal to me. Hugs to you.

Speaking as a father who is MANY MANY YEARS from being a grandfather ... I can say it's the natural culmination of a life well lived. So when you want your Dad to see your baby, it's not for YOU (even if it feels that way). It's so that you can reassure him - let him have visible proof - that he has accomplished much more than just his career goals. That he is an ancestor.

What else could a person want from this life? When you want your Dad to see your baby, it's to fulfil HIS life. So ... I wouldn't spend too much time on guilt, my darlin'.

not selfish at all. i think it's natural. he hopes for the same, i'm very sure.

i'm thinking about you.
