Today's Meditation(s):

Meditations, 4.48 (Hicks and Hicks)

As my mother lay dying.

I sit here, wondering why I'm looking up game time (7 PM) instead of holding her hand, as I have been before.

Wondering if we try to convince her to allow a procedure she (wrongly) fears and which could save her life. And if we do try, how do I convince her? She's strong-willed. And I'll never have a more important persuasion job.

Know your audience.

Get feelings leaning our way and rationale will follow.

Make her, and her input, feel heard and valued.

Fuck me. My mom is dying. Damnit.
