I gave it thought but decided to tell my father. He was pretty upset and wanted to come be here to help and I told him "too many cooks" because, honestly, he would drive me insane and I don't like being waited on like that. He still gets a bit emotional when I talk to him about my future and what that may mean.

The only thing I may keep to myself is if I'm ever told I'm terminal. I'm a little on the fence about that because if that were to happen I would want to spend some time making that easier on my wife by getting rid of all the things she wouldn't want or need after I go. That's not something for me to worry about today, so I'm not.
