Thanks, Magdalena.

I appreciate it.

I watched my ol man.........
I second Magdalena's comment.

Hey, johnrot, thanks.

I appreciate the support.

Thank you, Strider.

Thanks.

This really takes me back, you kept it short and so sharp.
My thoughts are with you.

Hi Dystopian, thanks man.

the slow decline is the hardest, it hurts and haunts :(
trust me I know...
great write and expression of feelings!!
:)

Thanks nikkimoe...

It saddens me that others know how I feel -
but it also seems to help, somehow.

I don't know which is harder, the waiting or the hoping.

Thanks, Kitty, on both counts.

really touching poem.

Thanks, NoLube.

Caused tears not unlike your own,
An excellent write about the suffering,

Best wishes

Many thanks, Ricecake.

Atakti...you used very few words, you spanned a long period of time (3yrs) and you also managed to express how fast that time seemed to go by, as if between a tick and a tock. Beautiful.  Very few could have ever expressed that much (and with that emotion too!) without using twice as many words. Trust. Fan.

Artkytech, those were my thoughts. Thanks for getting that, feels good to be heard.

Sad and beautiful. I'm losing someone to heart cancer.
My thoughts are with you.

Sheryl, so sorry... It's difficult, as you know.

Wow, says so much with so little. Takes me back to my Father-in-Law's passing. You're in my prayers.

Thanks so much, Mark, really appreciate it.

This says so much in so little words.
Tear jerker.

Best wishes,

Thanks for your comment, tulips, too kind.

Made me cry on the first read. Can't read it again as it's close to home.

Great stuff.

Sorry to hear that, Steven, hugs. :(

Really gives an urge to find a better response. Given that this is my third passing, I'll just say that this expression of waiting and hope is worked very well into the write...

And add in a little hope of my own.

Uley

Uley, any comment to show you dropped in is appreciated, many thanks.

Hi Mourganna, thank you for your kind comments...

Yep...

Seems like every second is a year, until
They are gone...

Understood sweetie :)

Thanks, MaggieG.  :)

This made me cry and cry. I watched my grandaughter and it is like no other pain. Wishing you and yours the very best.

So sorry, Shaunda... Hugs :(

Thanks, Al, I appreciate it.

This one practically wrote itself.

Thank you, Carlene, very kind.  It seems to get more difficult, but then, how can it ever get easier?

Wow, this is such a powerful and poignant piece. Love it!

Blake, thank you.  Pleased you like it, and I appreciate your comment.
