Transcription
During the Death Rehearsal in San Miguel, in the emergency room with test results saying that I had a pulmonary embolism. There was connection. And calm. And ALL GRATITUDE. The only regret wafting through my mind was that I have been/am so unforgiving to Dad.
And that I should forgive.
Maybe it was the angels who helped me methodically do what had to be done to do the 29 Pieces office move.
