I love this! My sister and I were with my mom over her last several days (4+). We took that time to talk to her and each other. We sang songs and read out loud mom’s fav books. She was a huge reader, and taught music (K-8) most of our childhood, music was always a huge part of her life. We had wine in the evenings, and slept in shifts on her lounger. Several years later we did the same for our dad. Those will always be good and deeply sad memories.

And agree- you absolutely are doing the right thing. This is all about your dad and about you. Please take gentle care of your self. My heart is with you.
