Hi Robin,

You have learned a great deal and are well prepared...as much as a person can be, anyway. Thank you for the insights and resource recommendations--particularly the book, "Final Journeys".

Those westerns will become a part of your cherished memories and family folklore. Create as many of those memories as time allows. There are never enough of them.

I sat with my dad while waiting--a precious, and all too short length of time. He told me stories about his childhood and teen years. I was fascinated. He had never shared them before. I think he had things he wanted me and our family to know about him and remember. My sons are now 12, 18, and 21. I find myself telling them the stories about when my dad was their age. I'm glad I can bring him into their life through stories. More than anything else, I feel blessed to have had that time with him.

May the memories you create together sustain you as mine have sustained me.

Sending wishes to you and your father for great peace as his journey continues.

Sandy
