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.

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.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

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,
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.

This really fu(king sucks!!!
