I already have friends that started a dinner schedule. My BFF is coming this weekend to help clean, and I know this will probably put people off, but IDGAF.
My dad came over yesterday and I was laying in bed. He came in stroked my hair, a kissed me on the forehead and then told me to scootch over. I lay in his arms like I was little and I cried and then he cried and I'll never forget that as long as I live.
I'm full on crying about your dad holding you and crying. That must have been so lovely for both of you. Do whatever you need to do to get through each day. I'm so sorry I can't imagine how difficult this must be.
Oh V, just let the laundry go! let your friends and family help you. I am in tears that your dad was there for you and knew just what to do for his little girl. Those are the things that are important and you know that. Just take it one moment at a time and as we all say let go and let God. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers in such a non creepy way . You don't know me from Adam, but you have just touched me and just want to say you got this.
Yes. I'm so glad you're leaning on all the people who love you and letting them help you. Keep asking. If this board is any indication, people in your life will move mountains for you.
Thank you for sharing that moment with you and your dad. Sometimes we can find beautiful moments in the shittiest of situations.

Oh, His. I know I don't "know" you, but I look up to you so much. I am always so grateful for your presence on this board because you genuinely care about other people. You prayed for my BFF who lost her 24 year-old brother, and I don't think it's a coincidence that she got her dream job that same week. When you speak, people (and God!) listen, because you are wise, loving, and so considerate of others. It looks like you got that from your dad.
Now, pleeeeeeease accept the care and love that others are showing you. Your feelings are so understandable and valid, and your loved ones will care for you the same way you have done for them.
Remember: chemo is a bitch, but you, my friend, are a boss-ass bitch. You can do this. (hugs)
Hugs and prayers for you, hisno1girl. You are loved and prayed for more than you will ever know. I'm glad you're getting so much support IRL, too. Please let your friends and family do anything that they offer to do, and don't hesitate to ask them to help. I know that you've been on the opposite side of caring for people...you've been happily filling other people's buckets for years, now it's time to let them have the honor and joy of helping YOU when you need it! As long as you have one clean pair of underwear and one clean glass, everything else can wait.
You are loved. Hearing about you and your dad's moment made me tear up. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Do what you need to in order to get through this. Accept the help. I don't recall what part of the country you're in or if any of us are local to you. If you can come up with anything you need--amazon wish list etc., we are here. Also, check out this website. They are legit and offer free cleaning services to all women going through chemo.
I'm sorry Take it easy and maybe make simple changes, laundry can stay in the baskets and maybe switch to paper plates so you don't have as many dishes? Prayers going up!
Didn't you see the post about justifiable homocide?
I could on my deathbed and if there was laundry in the basket, I would stil get up and put it awa!!! lol
I would come and put your laundry away if I could. I would do that shit right too. No wrinkles. <3

I'm sorry you are going through this. I've always thought you to be one of the most genuine people on this board and this is so fucking unfair. What ever you need to do, do it.
