05/13/21, 8:20 AM	My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of NC, returned to Universal Healthcare in Lillington on 05/05/21. When Joshua and I visited him on 05/06/21, he was weak, but largely alert. I spoke with him on the phone for 5 minutes on 05/11/21, and he sounded stronger, and even laughed. Joshua, Adrienne and I returned to see him on 05/12/21, as Lewis and Mary were flying in from UT, and Brent from OK. He was deep in sleep, snoring loudly, but could not be persuaded to awake. Hospice has been called in to assist us all. After several hours, Joshua drove Adrienne and me home (we needed to take our nightly meds, etc.), and drove to RDU to pick up Brent, then they joined Lewis and Mary in Paul's room at the nursing home. Shortly before midnight, it became necessary to start him on morphine. Joshua had to return home this morning at 7:30 to take his 2 children to their schools for final exams. He reported that Paul's "death rattle" had begun. We're all headed back to Lillington soon. It won't be long now.

The Impossible

Written by Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller

Recorded by Joe Nichols (b. 26 Nov 1976), 2002

My dad chased monsters from the dark
He checked underneath my bed
An he could lift me with one arm
Way up over top of his head
He could loosen rusty bolts
With a quick turn of his wrist
He pulled splinters from his hand
And never even flinched
In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry
But the day that grandpa died, I realized

Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible

And then there was my junior year
Billy had a brand new car
It was late, the road was wet
I guess the curves was just too sharp
I walked away without a scratch
They brought the helicopter in
And Billy couldn't feel his legs
Said he'd never walk again
But Billy said he would and his mom and daddy prayed
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:

Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible

So don't tell me that it's over
Don't give up on you and me
'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless
If you believe:

Unsinkable ships sink
Unbreakable walls break
Sometimes the things you think could never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible
