I'm spending this week in conversation with him as well as other family members who knew him when I did not. Slowly piecing together the life of a man I barely knew.
There's SO much in these lines that impresses me, courage, leading with an open heart, despite the past, and sheer grit. Thank you for sharing, Dawn. I hope you find space and time to rest as I'm sure this is all exhausting. Warm wishes.
This will be a time you will look back on and cherish, even wishing for one more day one more moment one more laugh one more story. Make the most of every minute before the minutes run out.
Although your father wasn’t present in your life while growing up, it’s clear you share several attributes. You are both determined, strong willed, resilient and creative. I’m so glad you have this time together.
Now is the time before it is too late.

These are “precious moments” of life you can always hold on to.

It truly is exhausting. Physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I’m glad you are leading with curiosity and are making space in your life for your father. Wishing you peace at this time of big feelings.
There are a lot of big feelings for sure.
This is very heartfelt and interesting.
I'm glad you have this time with him.
I can relate to your words, thoughts and feelings.
It's a very fraught and bittersweet time.

Thank you, Mary. As I've said before, we're like cockroaches - hard to get rid of.
Survival is in our DNA.
