It’s hard to watch
a parent plan the end of their life
My father’s lung cancer has progressed…the miracle drug has stopped working and he’s off it…he’s coughing more each day
He’s very grounded in his spirituality, he’s as concerned for his family as his family is for him – we have no idea how quickly things will progress from here.
He and I, have, over my 57 years, had many a tenuous period…and lots of high drama, he came from a cycle of violence and he perpetrated that violence on me as a child. We’ve worked our way through that and developed a great father and daughter relationship as a result (give er take the odd hollering match)
I love him dearly – and I know that losing him will be very hard…just as I know it’s as inevitable as the sun coming up in the morning.
I pray it’s kindly for him – that his love of his god will see him through this next chapter in his life.
and I pray I’ve become a daughter he can be proud of.
I know that the wheel will turn…and in some small way he has made his mark.
In Love and Light
