Father's Day Cruelty
On a day meant to honour fathers, I received the news that my cousin - a great husband, father, and grand father - passed away after losing a prolonged battle with cancer.
In deference to his immediate family, I won't mention his name here, but I will say that in many ways, he provided me with the love, guidance and assistance that I no longer had after my own father passed away a decade ago.
At the end, after he lost the ability to speak, his eyes and smile were still very expressive. I am grateful to his wife for informing me of his deteriorating condition, and giving me the opportunity to visit him at the hospital before he passed away.
He will truly be missed.
