215/365 (August 3, 2011) – I am going to be so glad after next week is over. I feel completely off balance at the moment. Not as bad as I imagine my father feels though. He has been moved into a care facility and it’s not going well. My brother is dealing with it, far better than I would be able to, but it is breaking my heart knowing how confused Dad must be. Sometimes life seems so unfair, the people who deserve the most are the ones who get shafted in the end. It’s devastating knowing that while life is still in the body, the person is disappearing. And it’s terrifying to know that two generations before you have gone down that path.
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
’cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I’ve got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
’cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
