Cancer of the Heart

My Dad is sick. He’s dying. And it’s hard to watch. As far as I know he doesn’t have any fatal disease, but nonetheless, he’s dying.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise – we all die… eventually. But it’s hard to watch. My Dad always said he’d be tough – but his body has betrayed him.
If my Dad had a fatal disease, and was lying in the ICU, or a nursing home, I would visit him faithfully, tell him he is loved, and would just show up. Even if he wasn’t conscious, we would stop to hug him, love him, show our respect.
