Wow...my father is losing his battle with many chronic illnesses as I type this. It is uncanny how I always find I'm not alone when I come to SR.
Toss and Anna - I'm very sorry for both of your losses. I know first hand how this all feels...especially your story Toss minus a few specific details. My fathers wife of 25 years has been wonderful in caring for him and we have a nice relationship so at least when he passes it will be a non-confrontational atmosphere.
Thank you for sharing - I needed to read that tonight. I'm learning this is what is known to some as a "shot" from our Higher Power. I'm starting to really believe that as I gain more and more sobriety.
May peace and love surround you both during these difficult times
