My father-in-law is dying. A fact we have juggled around, we have talked about casually, but now that the medical professionals have verbalized it - we text each other in disbelief.

And a longing deep in my heart wants to make this okay. In a bittersweet thankfulness - I am thankful that my girls are to younger to know the joy they bring might be the last for Opa. Matty laid her head on his chest last night in an effort to give him a hug and even if he doesn't ever think of it I will never forget that 'moment' we had.

And as we sort out the truth from the lies. The reality from what we perceive... we begin this new chapter.
