How do you write a story that doesn’t have a great ending? I know how don’t get me wrong but when its true life do you really want to? That is where I’m at today. I’ve been having problems writing the non-fiction Flyboy suggested I write because nothing sounds right so far. Yes I want to tell the stories that make Daddy smile and laugh but the true this my dad is dying and this is no cure. He has weeks or maybe days its hard to tell, but I don’t want this to be about just the bad times I want people to see that there are good things too like the old stories that we remember how it may make him feel a little more at ease we hope. I guess the question is how does a writer do that without making it seem like they’re just writing another piece about the death of a parent and how hard it is to see the life slip away?

Thoughts?
