Stop in for a cup of coffee

Went to see my Dad today. Nearly nothing left now. He has totally lost the ability to swallow and hasn’t had any food or liquids since Friday morning. He just stares out into space.

It breaks my heart to see him like this.

When I came home, I felt compelled to do this image. It’s a render of an old Sunoco station in New Hampshire where he grew up that was next to an A&W root beer stand. He used to take me there when I was a kid. I added his favorite car from the year he was born, a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe.

None of these things exist anymore...just in my memory.

I was thinking of you today, Dave, knowing you'd be visiting him. My Pop was born in '36 too. That's a very good idea, to make something positive after seeing your Dad the way he is. You want your thoughts to be of how he was when he was really himself.
