On the morning of January 19, 2021 it felt like we were heading toward an ending. I went to the beach to pray. There was a sense of urgency to wrap things up and prepare. After coming back home, the nurse came up to us at the end of her shift and just shook her head. I took out an iPad and played Bob Marley and Motown. My mom and I sat around his bed and held him. His breath went shallow and then dwindled into silence. We waited. I went into my bedroom and all the lights were blown out. Every light bulb. You are missed today and all days…dear dad.
