Today my sister and I are heading to Kamloops to visit our dad. He's 83 and in the latter stages of Lewy Body Dementia. Since we live 7 or so hours away, we don't get to see him often; in fact it's been a year since I last saw him at our family reunion. I'm facing the fact that this may well be the last time I see him, so this is a very special weekend for me, and I'd like to thank my sister for making it possible. We plan to take a priest to see him on Saturday, and spend the day with him, as well as Sunday afternoon.
This weekend, Sunday Stills is Sunsets, and mine is pre-set to post in the early morning of Sunday. Fitting, since my dad is in the sunset of his life, so I'll leave you with a sunset. Back in 4 days.
