A Part of Life

Cyndi SikoraBlog

My dad died at the age of 60.  I was 35 years old, living by myself, in a house I owned on the other side of the country.  His dying taught me so much about life.  Or should I say, how death is a part of life. In his short life, my dad went through suffering with lung cancer, with …
