Wow, that’s a really touching story. Thanks for sharing it with us… I was getting a little teary-eyed reading it. Sigh, and I’m reminded of life’s fragility; memento mori.

P.S I’m not from C&L. I’m here from your squid ink pasta page.

linked from C&L: Although it has been a few years now, my last days with my dear father were similar. You clearly understood what both the daughter and the father needed. I struggled past my own instincts to play for my father what pleased me. In the end, I found music from his native country of Panama (not an easy task in the midwest) and found him to truly relax against the struggle of his deathbed. His last night, he waited for me to fall asleep before he went, both of us drifting off listening to his native melodies. Thank You for giving me a moment of reflection once again.

The Tibetans would say that he was meant to be there for her. That his karma and hers were meant to mesh that day. This story brought tears to my eyes. I am grateful for such people.

Wonderful story. I am also here through Crooks and Liars. Had to listen to Trio Mediaeval just to hear what they sound like. Very soothing. I’m sure your caring made an impact. Thanks

Also here from C&L. Thank you for that beautiful story. Several years ago I spent about an hour singing Hindu devotional songs to a dying man – my wife’s South Indian grandfather. Your post brought that experience back, and reminded me as well of a very powerful French film you might want to check out, “Tout le matins du monde (All The Mornings of The World).” Rarely have I felt music’s real qualities expressed so purely and powerfully. Thanks again.
