This is my entry to the 2 page sketch challenge. The photos are of my dad, before he got so sick with kidney failure. These are really the last ones we have of him "healthy" and these are the images that I'm chosing to hold on to and remember. My private journaling reads :

This is most probably the last year that Daddy will be here for Father's Day. He's in the final stages of kidney failure, and while dialysis has extended his life, he's just so very tired of being sick. It is impossibly hard watching him wind down his life. He's always been so strong, so larger than life. Now he's just a shell of his former self. He cheated death so many times flying fighter jets in Korea, in Viet Nam, in Cuba, and as a child, I was sure he would live forever. But of course, that's the wish of a child, and as an adult, I'm left wondering what I'm going to do, who I'm going to turn to and who is going to show me how to live, after he's gone. A small part of me knows that he's ready to go, but the bigger, the most, part of me wants him to stay forever.
