Cass, it's wonderful you and your dad had that moment. I would have bawled
He'd be horrified at his life now. The physical limitations are huge but it's the mental impairment that breaks my heart. THIS. This is what happened to my dad's mom, it was her worst fear and it was heartbreaking and rage-inducing (at the universe.) I am so sorry, love, but glad you can spend time, no matter how painful in moments, with your daddy.
Oh Cass. It's so hard, and I'm so sorry. You are such a good person.
It's one of the hardest things you'll ever go through. I won't lie and say it gets better because it doesn't, but you do eventually come to terms with it and learn to hold on tightly to moments like that one.
I don't think comforting is the right word, but this helps. Thank you. I can't really articulate it better right now but it's actually better to hear that, yes, it's awful, realistically going to get worse but that I will also make it through. That I will always have the memories of my Dad and maybe I can add a few more good memories.
Oh Cass! Sending you lots of love and support right now. Feel free to contact me any time.
So much love to you, Cass.
Big hugs to Scrappy, and Frank, and to you Cass. I'm so sorry you're all going through this.
Yeah, my thoughts are with you all dealing with your mortal parents.
Wishing strength to Scrappy, Cass and Frank and peace and acceptance.
