thanks for sharing this with us, kate.

it doesn’t feel raw, it feels, well, heart-felt.

Thank you, L. That sympathy means a lot coming from you — I think I have some idea of all you’ve been through. I appreciate those hugs.

I love your user icon for this post!

Thanks! I dug around in my images folder last night to try to find one of my and my dad where our heads were close enough to crop that small and still be reasonably clear. I figured I’ll probably be doing a fair amount of writing about my dad, so I should probably have the user icon for it.

And thanks for your other comments, too. My dad is an amazing man. I hope I can write some more about him and try to capture what it is that’s so rare in him.

You know that you have my greatest sympathy for you and your whole family. I know very well how hard this is. *hugs* if you want ‘em.

I’m very glad to find you back on LJ.

Thanks. I’m glad it’s evocative. I had an overwhelming impulse to write it exactly as it came out, so maybe there’s something to that.

I love your user icon for this post!

I think you captured a razor fine edge of conflicting/competing emotions perfectly. It’s raw, yes, but so is life eh?

Your father sounds like an amazing man. Love and Light to your entire family, with extra to your dad.

It’s wonderful, Kate. The imagery it evokes is astounding (I don’t generally get mental images when I read, unless I focus, and I didn’t have to focus at all).

*hugs* for what you’re all going through.
