Another Visit With My Dad

How listless and nostalgic.  I talked to him, asked him yes/no questions, read him my blog, let him hear me sing and play violin...  I think tomorrow his youngest sister comes and then the other one the next day or so.  It was funny at the end of our visit he was messing around pressing letters on his iPad.  He doesn't text, anymore.  I'm just worried we'll be separated and I can't see him.  My younger brother visits, too.  His mom sent him a letter with his first sister.  It's fun to go visit but knowing it is very sad for him.  He has a tube in a hole in his throat.  He said the chords connected to him don't hurt nor tickle.  When I had chords in me for a brain scan and had acupuncture tried on me, it hurt and it was hard to stand, especially the acupuncture I couldn't stand it.  My mom's life ended like this, too, but she became still after just a little while in the ICU and I think at Hospice, where she died after several days or maybe almost a week.  My dad said he has a year to live but maybe other problems.  They give him different treatments now, too.  I left after maybe 1 1/2 hours this time, was tired.  I won't have the car for now, so his former nurse may give me a ride.  I guess I'll just relax for now, trying to get in shape so I can make money acting/modeling to support myself and because it was a secondary dream and can't support myself playing music, as my dream, at least not now.  I don't know if I should turn in or if there's still hope.  I'm tired now, trouble sleeping well.
