True Power ~ Intuitively letting go
I've been feeling a little too aggressive at times these last few days, almost malignant. I'm sure a manifestation of my worst fears. I seem to have it under control now, since ~newsflash to Mary~it's not about me, my ability or lack of ability, or my anything else.
My Dad had a good day Saturday. I saw him twice & both times ended with affection & what I have come to call positive leaving glances. He's ok with me, smiling & watching...I'm doing the same over my shoulder, love.
A few hours later he was an admit to the hospital, then ICU, with a potential litany of problems, slowly defining. A few had tentatively eased up a bit, but then veered back vengeful.
I don't want to use the story of Francesco only to more fully explain myself, so I'll just say he'll know how to lead me to do what is best for him.
Dignity is a function of character. Dad has always had plenty of dignity & character. I'm going to honor both. He's been showing me how.

Mary, doing a bit of catching up here. Sorry I'm just now getting by. I hope that all is well with you and your dad.

I just read your entry today. I'm not sure where you are amidst this journey... it could be anywhere. Regardless, I'm sure you are exhausted and I pray you all the strength and stamina you will need... and I am so amazed at how you hold your Dad's dignity with such high regard. It's beautiful, really.
