Dear manager. I've let you know for weeks now that I was going to have to be home when Dad began hospice. I've tried my best to be accommodating, offering to come in daily for a few hours, but doing the majority of my work at home.
Now, on the day dad is coming home for the last time, you tell me you want me to work 6 hours a day. Tough sh!t.
My father is dying. He takes precedence over anything you might find important.
I'm filing papers for a full leave of absence, I may turn it into early retirement, I'm that pissed.

Dear self--
You really need to do this. Look at a few webpage, send one e-mail, make one phone call. Not that hard. I know you hate the phone, but this is important. If you don't, you'll be screwing yourself out of something you really want.At least I don't leave slime trails.

I'm so sorry, Snap. For every bit of what you're going through right now. Even from my very limited perspective, it seems like it's all happening so fast. I can only imagine what it feels like from your perspective. I hope your dad isn't in any pain and that you and your family find the support and strength you need. Here's some more hugs to you from me and Brian.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

dear friend: are you sure you still want to be my friend? your actions dont reflect it these days. i know you are busy, but this last time you flaked, it was intentional, and that hurts. after 20+ years of friendship, i think i deserve more consideration.
i think i'm trying too hard. i'm here if you want to reach out, but i'm not initiating this any more. you know where i live. oh wait, you don't, you've blown off all my invitations to the new place. the one i've been in for like six months.
yeah.
