In the morning he said, "I know I am going to die today"
Simple and sweet.
Manny's father died today. He was 67. It wasn't sudden though. He had emphysema yet continued to smoke. We got 4 calls today from his mother concerning his status, all of them drove Manny and I to tear sessions lasting about 20 minutes or more. Manny is taking it well. He's strong about it, exactly what I expect from him. He will be in Miami this week until the 30th... sadly though, school permits me from going with him. I never thought... but the hardest I've ever cried up to this point in my life was not due to death, but to the unimaginable sadness of the person I care for the most.
