Make everyday count, and don't forget to always tell you loved ones that you love them. We didn't get that opportunity when my FIL was taken from us 7 years ago day after Christmas in a one car accident.

Now, there we see 'A Man in Full' - my prayers to you and your dad.
He told the doctor, "I had a talk with The Man upstairs, and he said you are wrong."

thinking of You.............
I have been out of commission the past week or so and just got on the boards. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. I am dealing with Stage 4 Cancer with my Dad as we talked about. You are lucky you got extra time with your Dad. He is a lucky man to have a wonderful family who is there for him.
Much peace-

(((redheadsusie))).....you and your family are in my prayers as well.
Just got the news that they are transferring my dad to a hospice house close to my home. Again, a miracle we were hoping for as they only had 1 bed left and within a few hours it would have been gone. Now I can come and go and not worry about being out of town away from my 4 and 5 year olds. My siblings will be coming to stay so that means more family support for us all.
They are giving him 4-5 days, but of course, it's God's time, not ours. All of the energy I have spent on worrying about my AH seems wasted. Funny how fast perspective can change when faced with something like this. I wish I had a spouse that could offer support, but I dont, and it is what it is. If I live to the age of my dad I've still got 40 years to make choices that bring joy to my life. I intend to not waste another day.

My Dad died in an accident in September (the plane he was piloting crashed). The day after he died, my A son called and started in on me. I was still reeling from the shock of my Dad's death. All I could say to him was "My father died yesterday. I just can't deal with your issues right now." and I hug up the phone.
It is hard to believe that they can be fully aware of your pain and stress and still pull their maneuvers.
gentle hugs
