Two weeks since my Dad slipped away to wherever it is one goes in death. Strange how being a daughter changes to being a caregiver/parent as the body's abilities fail in that long downward slide. Mentally agile, modest and proud until the end he hated having anyone take care of him but cancer laid waste to that independence sucking the life and vitality from his towering strengths both physical and cerebral, leaving him thinking coherently in a body far too frail to carry out his wishes. Death was a friend to my father. He now rests, pain-free again.
Here's to you Dad !!
