We Will Win This Together Dad!

Hi Family, Friends & Love Ones,

Although we are all smiles, these last few weeks have been very emotional for our family!I am Sumi, Roges’ daughter and I am writing on behalf of my father and family. Shockingly, during a recommended check-up, Doctors found a cancer mass. Immediately, he was admitted to the hospital and due to complications, he endured one procedure after another. As weeks passed, my dad was unable to walk, barely talk, and unable to eat. Now the doctors have diagnosed dad with Pancreatic Cancer. While trying to recover from this tragedy, his kidneys started to fail which led him to be in the hospital for a month. Pain has been excruciating to say the least. At times, I feel absolutely helpless because I’ve never seen dad like this. But Dad, I know you got this. You are the strongest man I know and your own strength makes you never discouraged. 

My father is probably the most loving, gentle, driven, God fearing but most importantly HILARIOUS person I know. He has always been the best father to his 3 children.His career has led him to become one of the best hairstylists to many for over 40 years.He has always been surrounded by loving friends, family, and has mentored many. In his spare time, he plants Bonsai trees and attends to his Koi pond. He is nothing less than a perfect peaceful human being. 

With the long and arduous journey ahead, it is uncertain when he will be able to not only just to work, but a normal healthy life. The diagnosis for treatment and recovery is currently no time soon. 

We are asking for any support, love, and prayers that anyone can offer. 

Dad, we can’t imagine life without you. This is not a race, but a marathon Stay Strong and we love you unconditionally. If anyone has any remedies, recommendations, personal notes or cards, please leave info in the comments.
