Friday Jam: The Waiting-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Eddie Vedder

I’ve mainly spent the last two days in a nursing home room, watching one of the most important people in my life fading away. I wonder if each labored breath might be his last.

At this point, I’m a little disappointed for him each time a new breath comes. He’s fought long enough and it’s time for his next journey.

And while it may be a bit on the nose, this song keeps sticking in my head.

The waiting is, indeed, the hardest part.

I love you, Dad. Thanks.
