This afternoon, I gave my father a final hug, a final kiss on the cheek, and told him I love him, and then I left. In a couple of days I'll be back in the grind and I shall never see him again.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
