Rollin' rollin' rollin' .. Keep them dogies rollin'...

So aforementioned parent is in hospice care now. It's officially what's called palliative care, which means the treatment is to make the patient as comfortable as possible... and that's all

In the words of my Great-Grandfather...

"We're all just passin' through."

Some of us are acts of enough quality to leave a spinoff or two.

Those who are of true quality leave behind spinoffs who do the originals proud.

You, my friend, who are of ebony hue both in physical and in etherial...

You are quality personified!

And you know, for once I can take a bow without reservations for that. Because it's true. :)

I'm glad your parent can take it gracefully. It's people like Opa Slinger (I guess you could call him my granduncle-in-law... or something like that. Dad's sister's father-in-law) that I pity. He's in his 90s, intent on making everyone miserable (himself included), and absolutely terrified to die.

You can't effectively live AND be afraid of death at the same time...

I have been keeping good thoughts for you and your parent, Gene. While I am not in the same situation as you, I too have been putting thought into taking better care of myself as a result of my father's current fight with cancer. I wish the best for you and yours.

You know I've never heard it put quite so eloquently. *shakes your paw*

Still wishing a little that I didn't have to put it this way this soon, but... <=)
