It made me think of my Dad who is terminally ill and each time the phone rings I hold my breath for a second and hope that it is not my sister calling with bad news. My dad was a quiet man, keenly intelligent, proud and honorable, hard working, and my very best ally throughout my whole life. There is nothing he would not do for me or for my mother or for any of my siblings. These days he rarely speaks and he sometimes forgets who we are and sometimes he is even angry and yells at us. I know this isn't my dad. He has just forgotten the song in his heart and it is my job to sing it to him.
Thank you Mealiea for helping me remember.

Hi Mary Ellen. I am glad I was able to help in some small way. It sounds like you are approaching this difficult time with peace in your heart. That should help you when you do get that call you are dreading.
thank you for sharing such a touching thought.
You made me cry. That was beautiful. Praying for your dad.
