The pain of growing old...

I don't really know how much more can be taken from my father. He was robbed of his dignity months ago, as well as his pride. His intelligence and wit have slowly bled out of him, leaving him struggling for even the simplest words, the most basic phrases. I want to love him. I want him to know that I am there. But in truth, I also don't want to see him the way he is. I want to remember my father as the man he so strongly struggled to be, not some wasted body to weak to stand, or grasp a spoon.

I love you dad. I hope whatever peace, and or calm, you may garner in the remaining nights and days of your life comes quickly and quietly. I hope on some level you are happy.
