Sorry to hear that you are going through this.

I frequently remind myself that people could suddenly die (apparently this makes me a Stoic) but I can't bring myself to imagine that my father won't always be strong and sharp. I'm still trying to be like him, but if I don't make it by the time he ceases to be ideal, I guess I'll be stuck wherever I am. It doesn't make sense to aspire to be someone who doesn't share my genetic predispositions.
