A few weeks ago, I watched my father pass into eternity. What made an impression on me was how his heart beat on until the last beat. I could see the carotid artery showing his pulse, and I was the one that noticed that he was beating his last heartbeat.
I am fortunate that I was able to resolve many issues with my father while I stood in as their evening and weekend caregiver for the past three years. Both he and I were at peace with each other when he died.
Personally, returning to heartbeats, I have had angina lately again. I fell off the dietary wagon in the past couple months, and I need to get back on it again.
I was with my sig other, Jon, last weekend. He did give me a bit of a scare, when he had thoracic pains. I took him to the ER and it turned out to be something else. He is very dear to me, so I want to keep him around as long as I can.
I have successfully moved to Puyallup a month ago. I am adjusting to what is available here. Except for the train horns, I actually am quite content where I am living now.
I have taken to riding the Foothills Trail at various locations from Puyallup to South Prairie. The scenery is lovely, many parts passing next to various rivers in the Puyallup River basin. And when the sky clears, there is a commanding view of Mount Rainier.
