The report for the Minister and my compliation of ideas is progressing very slowly. Also, family issues have been more pressing as of late.
My father is ill, and has been in the hospital to undergo heart surgery. I visited him every evening for the past week. Yesterday, before the surgery, he confessed he had a sneaking suspicion he wasn't going to survive through it. I reassured him that things would go well, that he was in good hands, but he wasn't convinced. He seemed so calm facing death, as if death were a mere worm. I'm curious to know what death is like, but the thought of never waking up is somewhat unsettling.

bitterly_barty briefly today. *fans self* From what I could tell, he is one of the youngest people here in the Ministry, besides myself. Although age doesn't matter in friendships, I say.
