This is how I begin: This is the first time I've been home in 9 days. My father is very sick. My family and I have been with him in the hospital since last Monday night and we are holding out hope that he will pull through. He is old and fragile. While we hope big, we are feeling sad and confused also.
There is so much to this experience, every nuance of whatever this misshapen process is, carries pain and hope and ability, reflection and wishes and love and heartbreak, weakness and strength. We are feeling as many feelings as I think there are. We are taking it minute by minute right now, but sometimes we forget. I hope things will go back to normal soon, like my father would want for all of us. I miss you.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and I am sending wishes for love and peace for you and your family. It is so wonderful that you can be there for him as painful as it must be.
Hi,
I am sorry to hear about your father and I hope your father will be better soon. I can totally relate to what you are going through as my mother has been diagnosed two years ago with an incurable disease which is Lou Gehrig disease. She can't talk nor eat and she is feeble. Life would be perfect if she never got this disease. I know it is life and I have to keep going but I found it really hard. I don't understand why and how she got this disease. I am sorry if I am getting very personal here but I wanted to write you this note to let you know that I can relate. Hang in there. Things will go back to normal.
so sorry to hear.
so sorry to hear this. hope he is doing better!
