My family just lost our father to cancer and we were much the same. We wouldn't leave him to be alone...ever. I was not with him when he passed, but my mother and my brother were. Though your poetry brings back bittersweet memories, and though I can scaresly see the screen through my tears right now, I thank you for sharing your family's experience in such a beautiful way.

As one who nursed her mom through final stages of cancer, plucks a special visceral chord, especially "And my intense/ Driving' and "As we kept in motion/To keep our word." All emotions felt during a trial like this. Thanks for the poetry.
