I too have a daughter I'm very close too and she worries too. It scared her when I needed a sudden addition of a pacemaker a year ago at 82, but I am doing very well. I am so sorry to hear about your dad's cancer and I hope it responds well to treatment and he can remain well for a long time.
I also can't thank you enough for writing posts like this -- even at the risk of alienating readers. Peace will only come from action. I'm still trying to find my own form of action as a Palestinian-American poet; but I admire how emphatically you're using your platform to advocate for peace and change.
Emily, thank you for yet another terrific post! And hoping you and your father and other loved ones have some nourishing and connected times together 💜
All of this, absolutely. We so appreciate you, thank you for all you do for our community and standing firm in your ethics. Sending you and your father so much heart energy. ❤️🩹
Appreciate you sharing all of this. Sending you love and care in this tender, heart-cracked-open moment. I lost my dear dad to cancer in 2012 - it’s what my first book dwells in. With you, and glad there are songs and trillium walks and a stand for future gentleness and a hope for a full world. And glad you’re taking time. ♥️
Thank you for taking the time to update your readers. My heart is open to all you are facing. Hope all goes well with your dad and thank you for having the strength to stand up for what you believe with the writing group, their lose unfortunately. Not taking a stand is taking a stand. Namaste.
Thank you, Emily. I admire your natural and inherent sense of justice and having dipped my toes into two books by Pat, I imagine she would be so glad to read your compassionate questions. 🩷
