Thank you for this beautiful poem. When my father lay dying of cancer, he said (with a grin, believe it or not): "No one gets out of here alive." He met death sane and clear-headed, with a smile on his face, as if he already saw the wonders ahead. May your father-in-law somehow see where he should go. I have utter faith that he will.

My sincerest apologies for being so late to this piece, Rod. Thinking of your family and the journey to and through loss. Your poem so graciously captures this place between. May our journeys home be with such compassion and care and centered in love. In condolence and peace, with MUCH LOVE, ~Wendy 💜

This is beautiful and true. You’ve captured the ache of that in-between place, and the quiet strength of remembering with love
