My Father is passing
On Tuesday my wife had called me to just say she was getting her furniture out of the place she was staying and that she needed to start selling the stuff.
She wondered if I knew of anyone in the market.
Her speech was fast and slurred again, I guess I can figure out why.
She had no idea where she was going to live. No mention of the day she called being our wedding anniversary.
No pleasantries at all.
Nothing seems to change with her, how sad I felt.
I got a call today from my step mom.
My Dad is getting worse and the doctors say there is nothing they can do right now, he is dying.
My heart again hurts with the loss that is about to happen and the man that I know, as my father will soon be gone.
I contacted my mother and gave her the news.
After being apart from him for over 25 years the woman wept like a small child, it was too much to take.
I needed to get a hold of my stepson and let him know that Grand Pa was leaving.
Since I have no way to contact my EX, I called his dad.
I gave him the news and we talked, he lost his mother a short time ago.
He told me he would tell his son.
He has no way either to reach my ex about it though.
He turned her away from staying there at his place.
I know this might bring her out of hiding, so I will have to handle that.
My Father touched a lot of lives; he is a good man.
81 years old and a WW 2 veteran and ex police officer, he gave a lot.
I’m not really in a good place right now, so much emotion, so much has happened.

Thank you all for your support & prayers at this time.
It’s nice to have friends out there.
I went back to see my DAD on Saturday.
I went to the nursing home where he is and he will soon be moved to a hospice.
More weight is gone from his frame and he only resembles the man I always knew.
He begs to go home and clutches his Bible as if he knows where he wants to spend his last days.
I keep it together the best I can while I’m there always praying that his pain will end soon.
I’ve never encountered anything like this before in my life and it is something I have always feared.
I do know it is part of life, I just wish God would spare him the pain.
