My father has always been stubborn. I learnt early on that I would never win a fight with him. Thirty odd years later very little has changed. Except now things are different – now refusal to change his mind has far reaching consequences for him and the rest of the family.
In an attempt to be respectful we have not overridden his wishes but it is heartbreaking and painful to us all.
Maybe I am not being sympathetic enough? After all what would I do if I knew the end was coming sooner than I had ever planned for. I guess I’d be scared and terrified. I’d want to resist all change and maintain the status quo for as long as possible.
What will we do?
I don’t know.
These days I am praying to God for answers, strength and miracles.
