I didnt want it to be that way..I wanted to help her a little bit, but I guess it just came out.
Hey if any of you are friends with my brother, please be there for him. He's having a really hard time with all of this (we all are), but he's my brother, my dad's his role model in a way...and I worry about him. Thanks guys. OILFAN81 if you're reading this, remmember to take care of yourself too and thanks for taking care of mom/dad. I will be there very soon.

You did the right thing (a natural reaction); at this time you need to keep yourself and family first and foremost in your mind.
I know it is hard, but sometimes you do need to be selfish and look out for yourself, even though you want to help friends.
My thoughts go out to you and your family and wish your father wellness.
