Fun dad fact of the day
I have a hard time remembering what dad looked like before he was sick. I have a hard time remembering dad outside of his palliative days period. While washing the dishes just now, I recalled how cancer left him a skeleton of his former self. He was really reduced to nothing. Even so, cancer can't take away this fun daddy fact from my memories: dad had the prettiest blue eyes. On the other hand, dad also had the worst eyes. He was so blind without his glasses that he still had to wear them in the shower. In the hospice, his glasses were often at his bedside, and there I'd have it: an unobstructed view directly into those pale blue eyes. Like a sunny spring day's sky. No clouds, no thick smog, just right.
