There is no resolution. Ahh, well, yes, there is resolution at some point- History always proves this to be true, but when painful moments stretch in to hours, and those hours stretch into days, and then into weeks...it certainly feels as if there is no end in sight. Trying to be "Sunny"- trying to look at each step in this process as a gift of sorts is a great challenge, but not without reward."<br /><br />Beautiful.<br />hope you are well.<br /><br />ChescaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-25802001727652648582011-07-22T15:42:11.234-05:002011-07-22T15:42:11.234-05:00I have been out of touch. I am sorry.
I remember...I have been out of touch. I am sorry. <br /><br />I remember those days of watching my daughter slip away...each minute felt like hours as well as split seconds. <br /><br />Cherish your time with him and take care of yourself too. I know there is nothing I can do for you but I am thinking of you....Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05704037582961814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-13367420509269042862011-07-22T07:06:02.304-05:002011-07-22T07:06:02.304-05:00Cosmo- hugs and thank you.

The trip was what I needed and I'm glad I went!<br /><br />Hugs Skunk- you are the best :)<br /><br />Bob- your words are wise and I will heed them. The last few days Pawpaw was in the hospital I was able to spend some time with him. He is a dear man and I feel very blessed to know him. What ever moments we have with him in the future I will treasure.<br /><br />Love to you Foamy- I knew you would "get it". It's been a difficult path, and yet I'm so thankful for friends and family who understand. You are one of those.<br /><br />X- you make a beautiful point about me being in his shoes and what would I want from my family. I was with him moments after he fell, I went with him to the ER and stayed 2 nights with him so mom could sleep. Mom stayed with us while tending to him in the hospital- but when she was at my house there were good meals, hot showers, and a nice place to sleep. I held her when she cried, asked hard questions of the Dr's...prayed. You are right. I did all that I could do and with a tender heart. I could not ask for more from anyone, but I honestly hadn't thought of it that way.

We might not like it, but it will come.<br /><br />I think you're doing the right thing by treasuring the time you have with Pawpaw. True, there could be tragedy down the road. But that's always been the case. And I'm pretty sure that he appreciates it that you're with him in flesh or in spirit. <br /><br />If it's any comfort, then realize that you yourself (as most of us) will be in this situation one day (hopefully eighty years or so from now). How would you want your family to react to your condition? <br /><br />In other words, if you put yourself in his shoes, you might be able to cut yourself some slack.<br /><br />My best to him, and to you, always of course.X.

During the reasonable times he has now, you can relive some of those and say some of the things you always wanted to but put them off.<br />I miss my dad and wish I had been able to spend some time with him as he went suddenly.<br />Hang in there fair Mayden and do not feel guilty about going to the outer banks.
