Dear Dad

I am so worried about my Dad.  He called me last night.  He proceeds to tell me that he had a stroke.  He's slurring his words, and very upset on the phone. I can understand, I know he's been suffering a lot. 
He tells me that he loves me, and that if anything happens he wanted me to know that.  I tell him I know, and how much I love him too.

The agony of the situation is killing me.  I feel so helpless, when there's nothing I can do for him.

This is only the tip of the iceburg.  He's already been in the hospital for some time.  Suffering with Kidney failure, and issues with his feet. Not feeling well overall.  I just want him to get better.  But I see him slowly giving up.  And I just want to tell him "Don't go!", or "I'd be lost w/o you!"  All seems selfish when he really has been miserable for so long. I just don't want him to suffer anymore. 

I love you Dad, more than I could tell you!!!!
