Poem - My Dad George
I, Kathleen, began writing this poem a few days before Dad died. The night before he died, I sat next to him on his hospital bed with a laptop and read him what was already written. I finished the poem speaking the lines outloud to Dad who heard me fini I continued writing it outloud in his presence. When everyone was expressing their "letting go" words, I went in last with "Dad, if you're going to keep on fighting, I'm going to keep on writing." Amazed, I saw him give me the wink in his eye I loved so View Poem
