Cathy, this is so moving. Thanks so much! I want to send it to our kids but I'm afraid they wouldn't take the time to read it as they are all very busy. OR they would want to get involved too early, hovering and over-reacting to any small illness! No way to get all of it right, ever. But you've given us a gift to share when the time is right.
There are no do overs. But I think you got SO many things right, and got to spend alot of time with your Dad. Such a blessing to have him lucid until the last. As someone that spent quite a bit of time with both parents that declined mentally before they died, one feels you lose them twice.
Very very touching, Cathy, thank u and Emily for sharing w us such an emotional time. It is the path we all follow, if we get as much right as you both did.👏♥️
Thank you for this wonderful writing. We continue to learn as we go. So important to keep asking questions of friends and family who are still with us. I think your dad would love your continuing to tell stories about him and all the experiences you have. I certainly appreciate your telling and the journey. Take Care
