I have been ill for awhile and finally found out that I am in heart failure. My daughter is 12. She is at a difficult age anyway. She will not talk about my illness. She usually is so interested in anything and I have had no questions.

Now, I have to wear a heart monitor and oxygen. I cannot do many things that I used to - such as hiking and camping. I am just leaving her alone about it for now. She thinks I will get better, but I doubt I will see her out of high school.

Anyone have anything like this with their giftie?
