He's a lot younger than me, and I had a family with 4 kids. He got really sick on his mission in Argentina, but the doctors just kept giving him meds for parasites. He was terminally ill with an aggressive and form of cancer, and passed away about a year after he got home after 10 months of intense chemo.

He was a fighter and just kept going with an amazing attitude through everything. We gotta into a rhythm of just treating him as normally as we could. My parents bought him his first new truck, traveled (locally) as much as possible, and he attended his singles ward every week even though he had to lie on the couch in the foyer 1/2 of the time. His friends came by to play video games and guitars every chance they had.

We lived in Texas at the time (he was in Utah), having moved for work the month before he was diagnosed. One of the times I came back to visit, I spent the night with him at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. He couldn't sleep, so I just stayed up all night and talked. He opened up about all of his fears and regrets, and we had an amazing talk about what we know of the opportunities he will have to fulfill his life goals of having a family, etc. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life, and it was very clear that the veil was as thin as can be. The questions, fears and concerns came from him, and came completely naturally. We all had hope that he could be cured, but deep down everyone including him knew where things were headed. It was the last time I saw him before an emergency flight back on his last night, where I got about 10 minutes with him in a coherent state. I will forever be grateful for that opportunity to be there that night.

The best advice I can give is to just live and enjoy each day and try to help your daughter see happiness and new experiences daily. If and when she is ready, she will bring up the topics that she needs to discuss. Just love her and help her to feel as normal as you can, and savor every life experience with her and be there when she needs to be talk. And most of all, know that as hard as it will be you will always cherish every moment you've had together and it will change you for the better.
