Very sad days recently. Dave's father took a turn for the worst. The doctor suspects he had another possible series of strokes and she says he is likely to pass away soon. When Dave heard this news, he immediately flew out to be with his dad.
Dave's sister Sara has been there this whole time so I'm glad Dave can be with her as they say goodbye to their father.
Sad and awful days, these.
Don’t Bother the Earth Spirit by Joy Harjo
Don’t bother the earth spirit who lives here. She is working on a story. It is the oldest story in the world and it is delicate, changing. If she sees you watching she will invite you in for coffee, give you warm bread, and you will be obligated to stay and listen. But this is no ordinary story. You will have to endure earthquakes, lightning, the deaths of all those you love, the most blinding beauty. It’s a story so compelling you may never want to leave; this is how she traps you. See that stone finger over there? That is the only one who ever escaped.
