A little bit of news the other night made things better. My mind always goes to the worst scenario with my parents. They are so far away and this distance makes their bumps and bruises and faulty valves all the more menacing to me. When I hear that my father is failing, getting worse, losing his mind, I go to the space where every breath is the last one. Where my conversations with him take on the tone of farewell. It is extreme, I do understand this, but again the distance.
