I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be...

Hi all,

Heading to Boston next Monday. My dad is entering the final stages of his illness. Hubz has been very nice.
I'll get to meet my new little nephew, too.

Hugs.

this is sad and happy news. it really is the full circle of life, isn't it? a new little life, and reaching it's final days, and those someplace in between. i'm glad you'll be with both of them.
keeping you in my thoughts, hon. we'll 'see' you when you get back.

So true. I've been thinking a lot about this circle of life. I'll hold my dad's wasted hand, and I'll hold the baby's tiny hand. I feel sad that this baby won't remember his bright, interesting grandpa. [As I, unfortunately, don't remember my dad's dad, who committed suicide when I was two]. On the other hand, I'm sure he'll be intrigued by all the stories he is bound to hear about him, and the fact that he is my dad's namesake may be make him feel closer.

Thanks for the thoughts, Bobbi and QL.
