\u201cFui internado no hospital. Por favor, n\u00e3o se preocupem, mas liguem-me quando puderem. Muito amor, D,P,O.\u201d Era sempre assim que ele terminava; uma abrevia\u00e7\u00e3o de Dad, Pete, Opa. Tim J. Veling iria em breve saber que o seu pai tinha sido diagnosticado com cancro terminal no pulm\u00e3o, com uma expectativa de vida de tr\u00eas meses. O ch\u00e3o foi subitamente arrancado debaixo dos seus p\u00e9s. D,P,O<\/em> \u00e9 o registo desses \u00faltimos e preciosos meses. As fotografias s\u00e3o um testemunho n\u00e3o s\u00f3 do luto que pai e filho atravessaram juntos, mas, mais importante, do amor e da admira\u00e7\u00e3o que partilhavam; um relato do inevit\u00e1vel decl\u00ednio de uma vida, ambientado num contexto de novas vidas e rela\u00e7\u00f5es a florescer. Intensamente comovente na sua intimidade e honestidade desarmantes, D,P,O<\/em> lembra-nos que, embora a morte chegue a todos, devemos viver o presente e valorizar profundamente a companhia das pessoas que nos s\u00e3o queridas. Pois, naqueles que permanecem, o amor e a vida perduram.

\u201cI have been admitted to hospital. Please don\u2019t worry, but call me when you can. Lots of love, D,P,O.\u201d It was always how he signed off; shorthand for Dad, Pete, Opa. Tim J. Veling would soon learn his father had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer with an estimated three months to live. The rug was suddenly pulled out from under his feet. D,P,O is a record of those last, precious months. The photographs are testament to not only the grief that father and son worked through together, but more importantly the love and admiration they shared; an account of the inevitable slowing of one life set to a backdrop of a new life and relationships thriving. Intensely moving in its unflinching intimacy and honesty, D,P,O reminds us that while death comes to us all, we must live in the present and treasure deeply the company of people we hold dear. For within those that remain, love and life endure.
