Whoa Eva, this is sharply observational and tragic. So many things about this piece enveloped me, and this, "My Dad is dying and I am giving birth to Conscious Desire, not because I want to make something pretty out of pain but because somebody has to look at the inheritance and say: this ends with me", this went straight to my heart!
Sorry to hear you are going through this phase of life. I'm about 4 years younger than your Dad. I take only 5 pills a day. I divorced my wife when my kids were young but I obey my daughter now!
I worry how she will take it when I'm expired since we are so close. I send her cat memes almost every day. I lost my mother just 6 months ago. I don't know which is harder. Losing a parent tragically or watching them suffer from old age and disease. You have reminded me that I want to write a story about my Dad on the "interweb" which did not exist when Dad died in '75.

A brilliant piece of work.
And I'm sorry xx
Ooof. Beautiful. Raw. Brutal. Landing in all the places I’ve visited. Excavated. And which clearly still have a live wire. Thank you.
Holding you gently during this time 🩵
It seems that you are taking it upon yourself to break the cycle of your parents.
I already have in so many ways.

Thank you for your insights.
