Lost my dad 9/6/07
| Fri, 09-07-2007 - 11:18pm |
My dad has lost his fight. Two weeks to the day that he found out the doctors would no longer treat him, he passed. Two weeks ago the doctors told us he had about 3 months. Two weeks. That's all we got.
I usually write much longer posts. But I don't even know what to say now.

Sending you many gentle hugs.
Hi, mx3913.
Thanks so much for your post. It's nice to hear.
It all seemed to happen so quickly. Two weeks out of three months is all we got. Today is my 27th birthday, and it has also been exactly one week since he died.
He didn't really suffer. I don't even think he knew he was going to die. I also don't think he was ready to die. I think in some ways I'm mad at him for that. My mom made a comment last night about how he didn't suffer and how that was great for all of us. I said "he could have suffered a little bit." And it's not that I really want my dad in pain. It's just that...maybe part of me thinks that...he didn't fight for us...he didn't hold on. I don't think that he gave up. Because I don't think he knew he was going to die. He couldn't even wait for my brother. My brother was on his way home from Iraq and was about 2 hours away when he died. We kept my dad in the house until my brother got there so he could say goodbye.
You said you can't imagine what it's like waking up each day. And that is the hardest part. I haven't had trouble sleeping - which is amazing. But when I wake up in the morning, it's like I can almost see all the pain
Sending positive vibes your way for great results from your Dad's CT Scan.
Bless your heart.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support.
Oh I am glad you were able to have a great vacation and make wonderful memories with your parents.
