Comments on: Our parents should live forever: A freestyle in prose http://www.theculturalist.org/2008/12/04/our-parents-should-live-forever-freestyle-in-prose/ perspectives of an artist slash activist slash culturalist Sun, 17 Jul 2011 23:31:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Diane http://www.theculturalist.org/2008/12/04/our-parents-should-live-forever-freestyle-in-prose/#comment-3 Diane Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:35:35 +0000 http://theculturalist.org/?p=240#comment-3 This is beautiful. That last line is what I've been thinking a lot over the past few weeks, even more so than usual. Both of my parents are alive but they are not in the best of health. They're not ill as in bedridden and are both still active people, but their health is failing. Every single day I pray for them and ask God to keep them here a little while longer. So far, he has, but I know that one day they will be gone and I don't know how I'm going to cope. Mentally I try and prepare myself but I will never be ready even if I mentally prepare for a hundred years. I know you wrote this months ago but my thoughts are with you, and I hope the pain is easing slightly so your precious happy memories can flourish unhindered. This is beautiful.
