My Dad passed away this afternoon. He was not in pain and it was fairly peaceful. I am very glad I was up here. My brother and I made a great team caring for him the 2 weeks we did together. I was out on the porch stitching when my brother ran out with 'Debbie, come here quick'. I was thinking geez, it takes a bit to get him up to use the commode! Nope, a seizure or stroke and final breaths. The two sibs not here drove up quick and we all said our goodbyes. I was I just in there working on a puzzle with mom and Terri.
Mom is doing well. We have all expected this for a while, and certainly the last 4 weeks. He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer June 12. He chose to do nothing as he already was in heart and kidney failure with retaining water. His choice was to go home and be comfortable. We abided by his wishes.
My sincere condolences Deb to you and your family...it is such a good thing that you could be up there to support your Mom during this difficult time...hugs for all Julierose
