Yes that's beautiful. Don't lose the note! Maybe even frame it and put it on your desk or wall. It says so much.
Has he also got diabetes?
It's good that you're learning any lessons possible. You'll learn more even with his eventual passing. A lot of sadness of course, but plenty of learning. And growth. :)
I'm sure he knows he's loved, and gets reminded often.
Thanks for the kind words, wisdom is a fair reward for dealing with the most difficult things.
I’ve found notebooks of his notes over the years. You can pretty much date the notes by the decline of handwriting & organization of them. A pretty good window into his inner thought timeline but super sad.
He never had diabetes but ate too much sugar & very few vegetables, also popped ibuprofen like candy which is the most likely culprit for his early onset symptoms in my opinion.
