I had planned on flying to visit my Dad this coming Friday, but the latest news has changed for the worse, so I will be leaving here for the airport in about ten minutes. My brother called late last night and Dad is now in the hospital not only with a morphine drip for the cancer pain, but now also with pneumonia and kidney failure. It’s to a point now where we hope it is quick for him and he doesn’t suffer much longer.
Thank you all for your support during this time and for your good wishes.
I’m off now for a few days…

It’s a little like walking through a looking-glass, the world turns very unfamiliar. Best to you and your brother in this time of trial and sorrow.

really glad you were able to pick up and just go…
I am so glad you got to go.
Be well
Be at Peace
I hope you get there in time to say good-bye, but if you don’t you will be able to in your dreams.
My you fly on the wings of an angel.
Godspeed.
d
you’re able to get there. take care . . .
I`m certainly glad you were able to fly off quickly.
It`s always special to say your goodbyes.
I know from experience, both ways.
Thought and prayers.
this is the same thing that happened to me when my mother passed.
It went from Not Good—to—You Should Think About—to—Probably not a Week Left—to—Get On a Plane NOW—.
Same with the morphine drip, which put her in a coma.
She waited til I got there. When I showed up in her room, the nurse was checking her vitals. She said, “Wow, her blood pressure just went up.” My sister and I laughed. Nurse said, “Oh, you’re THAT daughter.”
We stayed the night. In the morning, I told my sister to go home and be with her family, since we had no idea how long we’d be there.
20 minutes later, the nurse came in to check and said. Oh!. Oh. I’m sorry, she’s gone.” Mom would never die in front of my sister, she waited for me, the strong one, to be there when she passed. Naturally! Of course she did!
Hang in there, Edger.
This was in my other comment to you. I think the lyrics say it well
My heart and prayers are with you and your Dad
Thinking of you and wishing you strength, peace, and comfort.
Your dad has blessed this world with his son, and now you
bless your dad with your love—-
I’m with you in spirit
…in such times. And from this we grow. I am with you and your dad in spirit, Edger. Blessings to you and all your family.
You will be there for him, and for you, and that is what matters now. Hold his hand, talk to him, let him feel surrounded by and lifted up by love. Let him go in peace.
Peace be with you. My father passed away four years ago…it is rough. Be well, friend.
