Right there with you Hog! My thoughts and prayers also go with you! My Lord Jesus wanted to see my dad more than we did!
Have you thought about taking your dad to Training Camp for that interim time between now and the regular season? He might like that if you can manage to get into the shade.
Maybe wear a "Cancer Survivor" T-Shirt, and someone will ask the right questions when you go.
On a side note, call him just to call him. Talk about what kind of work he did, who his work friends were and such. Talk about his church, favorite color, favorite day, or date, or update him about family, church life, your work and such. But talk! It's the hardest thing to do, I know. Get others to talk to him if he wants, not if he doesn't. Sometimes he may just want to watch "Animal Planet" or something. Watch with him! Make his favorite food, or desert, he'll love the fact that you tried! Do your best and you won't regret it or blame yourself later!
