My dad kept his cancer a secret from everyone
until the day I left on this Tahoe trip a few weeks ago.

He only fessed up
because he had to stay overnight at the hospital
after they removed a portionof his lung.

He didn’t want us to know about the operation
and “ruin my trip”.

He naively thought
he would be able to make his regular tee time that day.

My brother and I walked into that room
and saw him hooked up to tubes like WTF.

He joked about being so hungry on a liquid diet
and calmly said it could be cancer,
but that the results wouldn’t be definitive for a week.

We were blindsided,
caught up in our own lives,
had no idea he was even sick.

He had known the high likelihood of it for months
but didn’t want to burden us with worry.
