Re: My Dad is Dying
So sorry for the loss of your father Joe. I have a possible suggestion. Some years ago, I started writing my memoir for my two sons so they might know their father better. The first thing written wss that I was not really knowledgeable of my own father. As writing progessed over a few years, I remembered faded memories of our times together and found, to my surprise, that I knew him far better than was supposed. I started out writing about me but found out that I earned a lot about a man that I thought I knew much less about.Comment

Re: My Dad is Dying
Good news. Make the most of this time, and while you can't stave off the inevitable, you can wring a few more precious memories out of the time that you have.

Re: My Dad is Dying
This is super good news. Wondering whether his cognitive problems will resolve when he's out of the sterile and worrysome atmosphere of the hospital and back among his family cheering him on. So glad you will get to continue to build the great connection you've had with him. He's a big Kleig light in your life, your teacher of man-ness.
Hug him lots. Human touch is the most important thing.A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

GOOD NEWS!
And good on you for your attitude about the whole incident. Enjoy visiting your father!"They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate?

Re: My Dad is Dying
What a relief! It's as important to your Dad as it is to you! When my dad passed, he'd somehow managed to see everyone important to him in his life within the last week. That was huge!Comment

Re: My Dad is Dying
Damn, that's good to see.I get to enjoy my father and talk and laugh with him. When I saw him in the car when my sister picked us up at the airport my tears turned into tears of joy. I felt like it was Christmas and my birthday at once.Comment
