231202 What I learned in my studies this morning 4*

Let me take the things
That help me sleep here. So tired
I can't breath and wake.

Today's Meditation(s):

Compassion for all because all share the same inherent value. A tough task, to be sure.

Today, I've been preparing more for when my dad dies. This good man whom I love will be absent from our lives. 

My mom will lose her spouse of 60 years.

My siblings and I will lose our father.

My kids will lose their grandfather.
His friends will lose a mentor, a  confidant, a supporter, a teacher, and a leader.

The graveyards are full of all indispensable men, eh? Soon, they may claim another good man. To our loss.
