So, guess it's about time to let everyone know. Dum's dad was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer in his lungs, kidneys, lymph nodes, ribs, spine, pelvis and femur. There's no treatment, they're just doing what they can to make him comfortable. I was waiting for Dum to say something, but I just don't think he's comfortable with it yet.
And out of such a terrible thing to happen, comes something lovely. Since it's very important to Dum for Pop to see us get married, and it's not really possible to get legally hitched right now, we're planning a very small civil ceremony for the end of this month. Pop will be walking me down the aisle (if he's still able to stand), a friend of ours will be preforming the ceremony. There might be 12 people there, total. Dum's sister found these, and asked if she could buy them for us. I thought they're pretty damn cool, so said OK.

So that's the bad news and the good news. Figured I'd let ya'll know.
