grateful timing

My Dad, J. Byron Williams, 1938-2021

There are stories to tell, memories to hold tight, and maybe better photos, more 'him' photos, many of which probably will show up over time.

This one was an unshared photo from the last big block of time I spent with him in March 2019. The progression of atypical parkinson's had slowed him down already but he was still walking around on his own and mostly in control.

Recently, he had finally had enough, didn't want to be poked or prodded or to be back in a hospital. He was done, and earlier today, went out on his own terms.

I'm deeply grateful to have been with him and my brothers this weekend before our dad finally, and fully let go.
