just now saw this~~~
having had my father, two grandparents, an aunt, and an uncle die
from cancer related(one was leukemia) diseases, and watching them
emaciate away to become distant shadows of their vigorous selves,,,,,
it TRULY was a Blessing, for their sakes and for ours, to have the pain be over and to have them be at eternal rest. i learned very early(grandparents when 6&7) that Death is as much a part of Life as living it is, that while we are here we are to aprreciate this Blessing of Grace and Time, and to make the MOST of our Faith, family, and friends so that the entirity of one's Life is a celebration to be cherished and lifted up in one's final hours.
sounds like your Family gets this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,our deepest condolences to you and them.
how cool to hear of the closeness you shared with your Dad!!!
