This isn’t very polished, but it’s the start of a memoir I’m planning to write about how my dad’s battle with cancer has affected the lives of my family and myself. It doesn’t make much sense right now, but sequels are on the way.

Any comments/critiques are welcome and appreciated. I will make sure to take a look at one of your stories if you comment on mine.

Happy ficlying! :)

This is deep. I think it will take a lot of emotional courage to write a memoir about such a close tragedy. But like I’ve heard, no tears in the writer then no tears in the reader. The first sentence is a comma splice. I’d rearrange the words there or say " It’s a weird concept to have to feed your own father." or instead of ’It’s a weird concept…" you could let your explanation of why it was weird speak for itself in the sentences that follow. Merely my opinion. Thank you for sharing this sensitive piece.
