Hi Folks,

For those of you who dont know, my dads got liver cancer, and for the last few months Ive been looking after him. It doesnt look like he has much longer.


Its been a brutal experience, and one which I will share my experiences on at some point, for the simple reason that about half of us, or our loved ones will have to deal with this at some point or another.  I figure sharing those experiences will be more valuable than those who will inevitably just use this as an excuse to mock me and my father.


This is also why I havent been adding many videos to the patreon supported stream.  I like to put real effort into those, and of later I've just not had the time.  


I figure the next pateron supported video will be on the science of Breaking Bad :-)

Had quite a lot of fun trying to make thermite from an etch a sketch!


Many thanks for all your support and kind words,

Phil

I understand what you must be going through. My dad passed away a little more than a month ago. Stay strong and don't let these SJW scumbags get to you. Their abysmal behavior only shows what terrible human beings they are.

Hang in there dude, we are all behind you. We appreciate your dedication but family is more important.

My thoughts are with you. I hope the time your Dad has left is full of peace and love. I hope you don't feel obliged to put much effort into your videos at this time. He's more important!

You're doing it right. By the way I loved your latest video, the comparison between cis+gay and the bigotry of "public opinion" was quite mind blowing. you are the most hard hitting sane voice on YouTube.

Stay strong, big guy. Keep up the good work!

My thoughts are with you and your father TF, laughing at your WDPLAC videos after I lost my Mum to Multi-System Atrophy was a powerful comic relief. I hope the well wishes of this community is a small help at this shitty time.

Take all the time you need. Wishing you the best.

By all means, take whatever extra time you need during this stage of yours and your father's life. I cannot imagine anyone would feel any differently than to offer their best wishes and understand that you will return to YouTube at that time when you are able. I had undergone a near-fatal autoimmune illness myself (UC) about seven years ago, undergoing five surgeries in 24 months and spending half of that time in the hospital, so I know how these things can usurp your time and energy, leaving little or none to focus elsewhere. We're all with you on this TF :-)

I have been through this with my mum, there is no need to apologies to us. Take time off, make fun videos, do some science. We are here to support you, however we can.

As a nurse I've seen enough to know that most people who are coming to an end are more afraid of hurting their loved-ones, leaving them alone or in pain, and bringing them problems. I can only suggest you help your father by telling him you will be fine knowing that all you desire is a bond of love between both of you.
