Bright blessings on your journey....

This is to let you know that Senior peaefully journeyed onward at 6:13am on April 9th.  He was supported in his finally moment by the FireGod.  It was as quietly gentle as one could have wanted.  He asked to but turned onto his right side so he could look out the window to the west toward the mountains and sky.  He settled, quietly closed his eyes, drew 3 or 4 breaths more in this world, then mved on to his next. 

His shell was farwelled by family and friends on April 12th.

Guys and gals, 

This is to let you all know that or the next couple of months (quite possibly less) I’ll be a bit off the radar.  Between the Fire-god and I we’re taking turns sitting with his father.  Senior is dying.  Its just a matter of what and when.  He went in for a second biopsy on the lung.  While in recovery he had a short heart attack. His chances of having another are good.  The biopsy has diagnosed him with Stage 4 lung cancer.  The doctors feel he wouldn’t survive chemo and radiation may or may not help.  If it did it would only add on 8wks to his survival.  They predict 3 to 6 months, but we’re quite sure it will be less.  He has minimum to no appetite (2 cookies one day, 3" of a sub another, absolutely none on another).  He’s on oxygen full time.  He needs help standing up and getting out of bed.  He spends most of the daytime sleeping with a brief hour here and there of awake.  Couple of nights he stayed up to almost 4am before wanting to go to bed.  (Fire-god is the ony one of the two of us that can help him get into and out of bed)  A couple members of his family has been here to visit over the weekend, but its us that’s staying here (circustances and everything).  I fear for the Fire-god sometimes.  This is physically hard on him...along with the emotional drain of being seen as the "strong one".  I hope that he simply goes to sleep and doesn’t wake up.  That would be easier than watchin him slowly suffocate from the cancer.  I’ve heard that it’s one of the more insidious forms of cancers, with a bad tendency to migrate.  My own father had lung cancer years ago from his smoking habits and work, and had 3/4 of a lung removed.  That is also part of what some of my own family feels may have finally killed him.  That it had come back for a second time.

But-any-way, we just stay here for now and between us and the hospice (never say that word around Senior) that pops in, try to makehis time comfortable.

Last night Denver Tarot Meetup met for our monthly meeting at Gypsy House Cafe.  As our group organizer Scott, was feeling a bit under the weather, I played "organizer" last night.  The original plan had been to review, discuss, and practice a 12 card layout.  It's 4 variations of the Astrology spread found in Complete Book of Tarot Spreads by Evelin Burger & Johannes Fiebig.  As there were several new tarot readers last night, we chose to do something different.  We practiced and discussed the Bright Shadow spread by Geraldine Amaral and Lola Lucas.  One member graciously agreed to be the test subject.  We discussed how the layout is done, some interpretations, and also possible variations on the layout.  Everybody had a chance to practice the spread on themselves, with a couple of people speaking out about what appeared for them and asking the groups' opinion.  I enjoyed it and hope everyone else did as well.  I do miss our weekly meetings but am glad that the group didn't totally fall apart with the change of timing and meeting place.  I've done presentations for the group two...three other times.  Everytime I've had fun...even when we ran more than two hours.  I hope everyone made it home safe and sound and look foward to what comes up next month.
