My father is in the last stages of his life. I am spending as much time with him as I can. Talking, laughing and smiling. However at night when I lay down to go to sleep, I cannot help but cry. I am finding more and more that all I want to do is cry. I am an only child, and I don't really want to burden my mother anymore. She is a mess already and has been for some time. I thought since my father has been sick for so long that when this day came it would be easier...
I love my father so much it just kills me. Yesterday my 3 year old daughter told me she wanted to "kiss bumpa and make him feel better." Of course this is the sweetest thing she could have said... I broke down in tears.
If there is anyone out there that know's what I am going through or can provide encourgaing words please do so. I don't know that I have the strength to handle this...
