Dear Amy: I have recently found out via my younger sister that our father has been diagnosed with pancreatitis. This is the first time I’ve heard this, and am hurt that he hasn’t said anything to me.
I haven’t told my dad about the new baby yet, but he knows that things are tight for us, with everything going on. Yet he still insists that we make time to visit him and his new girlfriend.I understand if he feels scared, I’m writing to you because I’M scared. He knows we care about his health!Should I bring it up at all, or wait until he tells me himself?I suggest this because of the almost frantic tone of your question.You are upset, scared, and worried.
Dear Amy: Your recent answer to “Disgruntled Guests” regarding a destination wedding inspired me to write.
