Trouble Comes in Threes

A week ago we watched my father-in-law die from cancer. We were at his bedside when he passed peacefully. It was a moment imbued with love.

It was also a harrowing experience.

I don’t follow a religion but in the moments before he passed I tried to pray — asking whatever power that existed to let him let go of life. Nothing happened.
