a break from translating!

I didn't realise translating could become addictive. I guess I am really enjoying reading dad's email messages. And can't stop myself from getting them translated so that they are available for everyone. I feel like we have been given a great present! And it makes up in part for loosing Dad so soon after my retirement.
I wanted so much to sit down with him and record his stories. Even though I saw so much of him this year, it was not possible to discuss his life. He needed all his energy to stay alive. It was very hard for me to pray that God spare him any further suffering because selfishly I wanted to hang on to him. But I prayed despite my own feelings that he be either healed or quickly released.
When I read his emails I can see him sitting there ...at his PC ...grinning away. I found this picture on his hard disc!
Well..now I must drag myeslf off to do some work around here! I also have to start medication in preparation for the medical test I have to undergo tomorrow. Not looking forward to it! Was told to spend the rest of the day very close to the toilet. More later.
