It’s weird – now when I encounter the elderly….

I wonder how much longer they’ve got on planet earth.

I want to hear all of their stories, soak up all of their wisdom, and just be present with them in that moment.

I wonder if they have a family.

I wonder if they have any friends left.

I wonder if they love their family and if their family loves them.

I wonder if they’re healthy or if they’re sick.

I wonder if they realize they are on borrowed time.

Freshly shaven, Aqua Velva, cigarettes , and coffee with cream and sugar when I would hug him.

Salem lights, I used to steal his cigarettes. I bet he was wise to that but he never said a word.

I’m taking on the responsiblity of writing my dad’s obituary.

Words like brutal, painful, raw, and excruciating come to mind.

Remembering and honoring my dad is incredibly important to me.

I can’t stop crying.

He’s never coming back.

I’m already forgetting what his voice sounds like.

I stood in his closet and smelled his clothes.

My poor mom. She lost her friend of 59 almost 60 years.

My dad died yesterday.

I’m still not sure what I’m supposed to do.

I’m never going to listen to Mike and the Mechanics ever again.
