Only came to your post after learning of his passing on Plurk, such deep sorrow I feel for you, but not for him. My dad passed 10 years ago from cancer and that was merciful compared to what your dad endured, but keep in mind he is at rest and the shackles of his earthly body are released.

He is perfect again and smiling.

Well now I know the origin of your gift for words. He's an eloquent -- and by the sounds of things, grateful -- man. Missives From Suburbia's last blog post..Bankrupting More Than Just Wallets

My Nana, who passed away in August, had a 7th grade education, and she, too, always amazed me with her innate intelligence. When my parents were cleaning out her apartment, they found a few letters that she wrote to us, her family, to be read when she passed on. Those physical reminders of her – her spirit, her words, her wisdom – will live on forever. Just as this letter will for your father.

This story is heartbreaking. I am thinking of you and your family.

What a very heavy situation for all of you. Your love for him is apparent, and his love for all of you, in his letter, is very moving. How important it must have been to him, to muster all his strength and make his thoughts tangible. Thank you for sharing this, it is my first time here. I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers =)
Hugs to you all

I've read this half a dozen times now. I've clicked through on the image because I wanted to get a little closer to the writing on the paper. I wish I had something to say. I don't. Chuck's last blog post..Hints of Compassion
