What a hard time, yet you are profoundly aware of each day as a gift. When my dear mother-in-law was making her transition, we arrived at the hospice center with urgency and questions: how are things progressing, how long does it usually take, how much time might she/we have. The very wise hospice nurse gently told us the only and best answer: all we have is now. I carry that deep in my heart and hope you can too. Sending love and gentle strength to you and your family.

Thank you for sharing this with me. It really does all distill down to that, doesn't it? The here and now. I appreciate your kind words and compassion.

Thinking of you both and sending love. I love that "best performance" quote and I am so glad you both got there in time to share these precious moments - those glimmers of joy amidst it all is everything.

A profound sense of self and humor in the fact Pop's knows what's ahead a yet he is able to laugh and joke. The spirit is strong to want to protect lives from the reality of death. Leaving them with memories of laughter and jokes rather than the cold and bleak out come of death.
