“It is not the length of life, but the depth.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote took on a whole new meaning to me when my father quit chemo treatments two months ago to enter hospice care. While we all have an expiration date and none of us are promised a tomorrow, being faced with that reality every day is a struggle for the patient and their loved ones.
Making the best of the days we have left on this earth is important. Having a rich life filled with love and happiness, no matter how short, is so much better than having a long life that is lonely. I have been making frequent trips to visit my parents and call just about daily to say hi, see how they are, and tell them I love them.
“The most important thing in the world is family and love.” ~ John Wooten

So I would just like to remind everyone to hug your loved ones, and take every opportunity you can to be kind, share a laugh, and tell people how you truly feel. Positivity and love will outshine negativity every time. So adopt a positive outlook, and make your days count!
Cheers!

May you find the meaning in each day you have with your dad. Bless him. I went through that with my brother, cancer, aggressive. We had 7 weeks from his diagnosis. He was 37. They were good/sad/meaningful days. Each one was a gift. 💜

He was active Army, I often wondered if it would’ve been easier if he was KIA, but no. Those last weeks I’d never trade! It is time that is cherished, as you said. We learn every moment counts, don’t we. 💜

We need to cherish the time that is given to us, I cherished every moment I had with my late husband in the 12 weeks we had from diagnosis to his heavenly exit with brain cancer.
Thinking of you,
