I have been out of town this past week so that I could be close to my father during his illness and his stay in the Hospice House. It was a shocking blow to see how far he had gone downhill since my last visit which had only been a week or so before that. He was definitely in pain and unable to talk and appeared unresponsive but I know he knew I was there because he gave me several signs which gave me comfort.
My father was a great man. In size as well as character. He passed away on August 13th, the day after the 40th anniversary of my mother's death. We are all still in a state of shock because this cancer and his death seemed to happen then progress so quickly. I know he is no longer in pain but my heart will always ache.
I Love You, Dad.

I sit here thinking of you and your pain and then think of my Mom (who passed on Dec. 6th) and feel your pain since it is mine as well.

Sherry, so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I lost mine 6 years ago and still think of him often. He was also dx w cancer and went very rapidly which I was thankful for as he was in a lot of pain (gone in less than a month). I thank God for Hospice and the good care he received when I couldn't be with him. My prayers are with you. Susan
