4 1/2 YEARS
Cancer is like being kidnapped.
Your kidnapper’s choice of punishment?
Torturing your loved one and making you watch.
Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you escape together.
The kidnappers killed in a shootout.
Your loved one bruised and bloodied but alive and able to recover.
Other times…
There is no escape.
Your loved one is bound and tortured.
Day and night.
You’re tied too.
Forced to watch.
The beatings.
Emotional and physical.
Your father’s torture.
For.
Four.
And.
A.
Half.
Years.
