The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

The thought of cleaning Dale's tool desk hit me like a ton of bricks, and I never met the fine man, so if it hits you too hard to do it, it can wait. If you do it and someone criticizes, thats their useless negative energy talking. Calmly talking about and preparing is a healthy choice for everyone. I have a friend who has had that conversation many times, as both a minister and a patient - and his spiritual ministry includes unicorns... follow your heart, your bliss and keep on growing!

Take your sanity and calm anywhere you can. When you take calmness and joy, you leave behind an empty space filled with ... calmness and joy.
Joy is magical. ! :circle-of-love:

Dale knows its important to move forward, I am glad your daughter is coming. Keep the thoughts of your son out of this equation for now, that's inward thinking and it will only stop you from moving forward. He knows whats going on and chooses not to participate, that is on him not you. So, just focus on the now, focus on your life moving on. :Love:

Thank you for that clarity. This is exactly the thinking of Dale, our daughter and myself. We have no desire to make this easy for him. Be a man and show up in person and the conversation shifts to one of reconciliation. It's on him.

I like how you get me Rad. It says lots for the future of your own marriage that you also get the magical quality of joy.

The workbench hasn't been used as one for almost a year, since standing was impossible for him. It became a dump spot. The real workspace is in our living room, where his T-guage trains are. It'll take me a while to be able to clear that stuff out. The steam locomotive he just built and won't get to fire up. That's a tough one.

Changed this answer because I was doing something else and read the question wrong.

These are a mix of Amnesia auto and Jock Horror auto. You can definitely find them around. Check the seed banks.
 
send it with him on his final journey
 
He would never agree to that. He'd rather I give it to someone who'd enjoy running it.

To be honest, he was so upset about the train I think he may have decided to see if he can heal. I kid you not. :laughtwo:

He's been having a hard time accepting his current situation. Says he's not feeling impending anything. I'm staying at the hospital tonight so we can keep talking and he doesn't have to be alone right now. The man in the bed today barely resembles the fading body that lay there a day ago. He ate everything they brought him and then some, and he's been awake and alert most of the day. This is exactly how it's going to go, good days and very bad days with no clear indicator of any timeline.

Somehow I don't think the medical geniuses in five different disciplines could have all made the wrong call. We were handed over to the Palliative Care unit for a reason.
 
I don't want to be grim but terminal patients can often rally near the end.
I hope there is real hope.

I've witnessed this myself on many occasions. That's part of why I'm staying with him tonight. Emotional support.

More than anything I'd like to believe he could pull another miracle out of that magic bag of his, but I'm more realistic about the situation.

Mornin' Duggan. I was just thinking of you too. :green_heart: Congratulations on the First Holy Communion. Raise those young ones with a strong foundation and they stand sturdy throughout life's struggles and joys. Have a wonderful day Dad. :Love:
 
:high-five:
 
My 2 year old daughter pulled a five year old boy onto the dance floor yesterday and the joy and excitement in her face when he danced with her will forever touch my heart. Made me think of you. Your optimism is an inspiration Sue! Thank you for this wonderful journal and sharing so much of yourself with us!
