Journey's Eve

San Miguel Stroll
San Miguel de Allende, GTO, MX

They said Enoch walked with God. Like Enoch, my father also tried all his life to walk in the path of the righteous. He had his shortcomings but he has inspired many with his work and deep caring friendships. My Dad till this day is surrounded by friendships made over decades.

Dad has often joked with me and addressed his own mortality and fears. "No one leaves this earth alive." He says. How true this is. It's not morbid but rather a statement of fact. We all must die. We make room so others might live. The cycle of life continues long after we are gone.

It may very well be that my father will be like his grandfather and bounce back from illness, I don't know. What I do know is this. That whatever my father wants, he deserves. If he is tired, then I will not get in his way. We will see what is in store for him, but for now, I would like to see my Dad walking a few more days and enjoying the life he has until he's ready to meet his maker, preferably in his sleep.
