My dads health for the past 10yrs. Has been regressing,but the last 8 months has gotten out of hand.


I personally brought him to the ER 5 times this year alone, he always wanted me to bring him vs the ambulance.if they come the whole crew shows up cops fire dept ect.
Pride.

Well today I was too far from my parents house so my mom brought my dad to the ER.he was there for 8 hrs. In the ER dpt And then they found a room.After a battery of test I awaited a call from my mom.

Well after getting home from work and cooking supper for my family and I went to my parents house and met up with my mom to make sure things are ok & make sure she has something to eat and all is wel.

At 21:36 she got a call from the hospital my dads primary doctor was on the phone, so I picked up the other phone and was able to conference call along with my mom and the doctor......


Bottom line guys,I have never asked from you,but please say a blessing for my dad,because he was just sentence with stage 4 liver cancer...
Along with is other ailments of blood leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, A fabulation ect.

Any positive thoughts his way will be felt and hopefully healing to him...

Thanks for reading.


Bobby

I'm so sorry to hear that, Bob. Your dad is in my thoughts and prayers, along with your mom and the rest of your family. Please call me if you need anything, or if you just want to get out and grab a beer.

So sorry to hear this Bob,,,, be strong for your clan , my clan will be praying up a storm for you folks.

Sorry to hear this Bob. I just lost my Dad March 4th- after ten years of bi-monthly ER visits and hospitalizations.

You know they are not going to live forever but it is still so very difficult to fathom them not being here anymore. Do whatever you can to coerce a smile or laugh out of your Dad in his final days. Share your fondest memories and be sure to tell him how much he is loved and appreciated. Stay strong for your Mom but allow yourself to feel your true emotions as well. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family...

Thinking of you, Bob..... The circle of life presents the best and worst of times. Lost my Dad 21 years ago last Christmas Eve. At some point it all we can do to make them most comfortable and retain their dignity. Having a family meeting to make sure all are on the same page will be a big help as time goes on.

I woke up this morning and for the first few minutes I had truly forgotten about yesterdays events.


Ross true words,my dad held a meeting last summer it was sobering. I kept drifting off during it thinking he isn't going anywhere. He's the strongest man I know...
Today he was very strong for my mom and my sisters.

Thanks for the kind words.

Sorry to hear Bob. Hang in there and cherish every moment.

Sorry to hear Bob. Ts and Ps your way.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Thoughts and prayers out to you and your family 5/0 -

Being as close as I am to my own father, I can't imagine being told that he has "an estimated" time of life remaining.
Although I'm a God-believing man....death or the possibility there-of, is still so difficult to cope with.
I'll pray for you...as I do for myself....that God gives me the strength I need to comfort those around me...while allowing Him to comfort me from within. Eternal life is promised to those who believe...not the platform to discuss religion, but now would be a good time to strengthen or revive whatever relationship you do have with our Eternal Father.

Remember, your dad is still with you........so make your time spent with him your top priority.
This sickness can change rapidly cutting down your expected time together...as Clammer says, "Enjoy what you have".

God Bless and comfort you all.

Bob, you are a good son doing what a good son does.

Godspeed on your dad.

Thoughts and prayers for him, for you, and for your family.

Bob,sending positive thoughts your way in a very difficult time. Cherish every moment and stay strong for your family.

Today was manageable, I showed the post that I created on Wednesday night to my dad today and he read all of you're Post's and it made him smile.
My Dad is old school and felt the warmth,with tears.
Thank you all for the post and PM's it is working.
I cannot thank you all enough!

thoughts and prayers. losing a close family member is never easy.

I remember when I lost my dad 6 yrs ago. I went to visit every day and just talked with him about all the good times and funny things that happened(he was a perpetual joker). Shortly before he passed he thanked me for helping make the days just a little bit shorter and less stressful.

Bob,
My family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you need anything let me know. -Matt

BOB,
I was going to suggest showing these posts to your Dad. they are so full
of love. My prayer: that he may pass peacefully when God finally calls
for him. Hug and kiss him and your Mom everyday to thank them for
their love for you and your sisters. God bless us all.

My dad read most of your Post's and PM's and it touched him dearly,Saturday my wife,mom and I had a great day with him.
For supper he wanted a hamburger with sautéed onions and peppers, he didn't eat much but he enjoyed what he ate I had asked him if wanted some water he looked at me and said no how about a bud light.
So we shared a beer together.

My dad past away early this morning...

Please keep my mom safe and pray for her.

bob, so sorry bud! be strong for mom

Your father will live on in you and your children. He knows that at some level and the meaning it gives him will carry him through his final days. It is the most any of us can ask for when we look back at our lives.

Be strong, Bob, for you, your wife, and all of your family. Godspeed, bud!

This is always a tough and it is hard way to pass the torch.

When I am out fishing alone deep in the night I say hello to my dad, and many of those that have gone before us. Almost a ritual.

Keep the faith and stay in the moment. My thoughts are with your Dad for sure.

So sorry Bob, the memories that bring tears now will someday bring smiles and you'll know he's in Gods hands. Be strong I know it's not easy. God Bless you and yours.

Oh man. I'm sorry bud. May he R.I.P.

Very very sorry Bob :(
God bless
Stay strong for your Mom
Thoughts are with her , you and all your family. May he rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to you and your family
It's going to be a tough few days.
Try to find strength in the Lord
Don't let hate fill your heart
Death cheats everyone at some point
Try to find refuge in that he is no longer suffering

You are fortunate to have shared a final good day with him. My condolences go out to you and your family.

Was thinking the same thing. RIP.


Yes, me as well. Not something we all get.

So sorry for your Loss of your Dad and Grandmother Bob...

the heartfelt pain your feeling..... reduces .... over time
making room for fond memories that appear from
out of the Blue to provide you some needed comfort.

Sorry for your loss bud,just remember the good times you shared

Bob,
When me meet again at TFCTFN we shall both raise a
glass to the memories of our fathers. You and I were
lucky, many are not so. God bless us all.

Hey, Bob. So sorry. There ain't any instruction manual for this... People grieve differently, so I have never found fault with how folks manage their grief.
That said, I can only offer what helped me when my father passed. All eyes turned to me as I assumed a new, unwanted role as head of family. Keep your wife close, and communicate what you feel and need from her. Be sure to get some time ALONE. Pray, reflect, meditate, whatever you need to get yourself together. Issues and people are going to be coming at your family in many states of their own grief. Some issues will be unexpected. Some behaviors of mourners can be unhealthy to your family. Recognizing and diplomatically handling the unexpected is your new role in protecting the family. Delegate what you can. Have the younger kids keep everyone hydrated, especially if you are having a wake. Taking care of your mom and the rest of the clan begins with making sure you are good to go.... I'm just a phone call away.

Sorry for your loss Bob. RIP
