Folks,

I have some very sad news to report. My dear Dad is quite likely to depart very soon from this world and this life. It may even be within a week, if not even sooner than that. It may even be just days from now, at that.

Of course, this is very hard for Mom to deal with, and I'm crying as I write these words, to be sure. There are some serious matters she's trying to take care of right now, getting things taken care of related to Dad and his imminent departure from this life, plus trying to make sure that I'll be able to have as much independence as possible in the future, whether or not we're living together in the future, or whether or not something happens that forces us to live apart from each other or she leaves this world as well.

Mom has had her own health issues, of course, but right now, her main concerns are related both to Dad and to me. Dad is going, and whether or not something eventually happens to her, she wants to see that I'm provided for as needed and all in the future, and that I'm hopefully able to live as independently as possible, and have a safe place to deal with my Dad's departure and my own personal grief related to it, with as little interference and all as possible from others in this world in the future.

As for me, I'm still writing, of course, with or without AI assistance and all. Hence why you haven't heard much from me of late, if anything. I'll probably be doing a good deal more writing, as I work through my feelings here, obviously.

Please pray for me and Mom and the rest of our family, that we may be able to deal well enough with these things, whether related to Dad or not, everyone. Thank you for your time and all, everyone. Your periodical prayers have been, and are, and will be greatly appreciated by me, at least, for sure, just so you all know this well enough here.

It's been really hard for me to not be able to watch someone I spent most of my life around go down like he has the past few years. I won't be able to attend any funeral he might have, either, because I can't handle seeing certain things. I haven't seen him more than once where he's been for nearly two years, because I can't bear to see him like that, especially with his mind as wrecked as it was or is because of Alzheimer's. Thankfully, in eternity, with Jesus, Alzheimer's will be no more, just like autism won't be around. And neither will Down's Syndrome, among many other Earthly health conditions, of course, for sure.

I'll talk more later, as possible and all. But right now, I'm going to try and deal with Dad's likely imminent departure as best as I can, in whatever ways I possibly can, including, of course, thanking God for all the years and all the time I was able to spend in this life with my dear Dad, if his departure from this world is truly due to happen very soon from now, for sure. We had our difficulties with each other, no doubt, but I'm sure he's loved me, and I know I've loved him, and all, all these years we've spent with each other, at least in our minds and all, if not necessarily with each other near each other in a physical sense, at least. CD out.
