My father fell ill
he was well cared for
well fed
and welcomed me warmly
Alexander cooked
as he entertained the girls
however he quickly got weaker
Victoria read to him
and Olivia stroked him
when pain was great he received medicine
then rested
and I went out to photograph
Malith and Dimu payed their respects
Sandra provided warmth
however the end approached
by morning he had left
the doctor made his pronouncement
Jose helped dress him
and then the undertakers came
to take his body away
How quickly life goes by!
