Awww Jenny - I loved reading this and learning about your last days with your sweet dad. He was the best and I will always remember our NY adventure and dancing somewhere eating Russian food. xoxo

Jenny-this is so touching and raw. Wonderful writing. You were and are an incredible daughter. I was with my dad when he took his last breath, holding his hand and telling him it was ok to let go. No one lives forever and everyone dies too soon. x

Thanks for sharing this. A parent's death is one of those stages in life that none of us want to confront yet we all do. I lost my Dad in 2011 and my Mom in 2019 and there's not a day goes by where I don't think how one of them would have reacted to the various things happening in my life or the world. I guess that's how they manage to always stay in our hearts.

Jenny this is well written. My family (not John’s side) just went through a similar thing in September and October. My biological father was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Watching the denial, then the reckoning that they are going to die. It is hard to watch.
