How Do You Stop Time

Less than one minute read time.

Dad came home today from Willen hospice. He was there for 3 weeks and didnt want to spend any more time away from mum so they put things in place for dad to come home. The docter said he just has weeks left. I suppose it dosent help if he hasnt eaten for 3 weeks but we cant force him as it would make him uncomfortable. Dad is a fighter and Im so proud of him. it would be the best thing in the world if dad could make it past christmas but ive been told that would be too far ahead. I can only pray he will. Shame we dressed him this morning and his trousers fell down as he lost 10 kilos in 3 weeks. I can see why the hospice doesnt keep any scales in there. I cant thank the staff enough for all they have done. This is a very special time for mum and dad and im sure she will treasure it. I also met emma over the weekend from macmillian and it was lovely to meet her. This site has given so much support to many people xx

    How do you stop time???

    Dont we just wish we could when we see the life ebbing away from the ones we love.

    Time is impossible to measure.

    The past is the past which we can use as an experience for the future (everything our parents and upbringing have taught us).

    The future we are not even sure it exists for anyone BUT we can plan for it based on the experience of the past (learning from the mistakes and the good things that those we loved showed to us).

    The only REAL time is NOW and as you think of it it becomes the past SO live for the moment and love the moment in this REAL time with your Dad make every moment special for him and for you all as you build an experience for the future.
