He Was Ready to Leave... I was planning to write an entry on the deep sea fishing that we did (or didn't) accomplish on Sunday - I think I caught 3 of our groups 5 skate, along with 2 sharks, 1 flounder and 1 cod (which had to be thrown back). Not a good fishing day. However, my father's fight would soon be coming to an end. It would go the way he wanted it, but not entirely the way I would have. Then again, it's not about me.

Just seeing those words in print still affects me in all kinds of ways. And regardless of all of the advance warning, all of the antiseptic medical conversations with health care providers, all of the preplanning with him, when it eventually comes to pass that he leaves this world, all of those things may well as never have occurred because as much as I want to respect his wishes, I just can't seem to let go.
