I am really sorry to hear what you have been going thru Jaime. No one deserves to have to endure such a hardship. You will get thru this and when you do and when it is your time your Dad and your Daughter will be waiting for you with smiles and open arms. You have some time left here though....Your message is powerful.
Thank You part of me is still in denial but there is another part that is slowly but surely emerging, a part that sees the blessings for what they are. He was only in Hospice for 11 days and only one really bad day when he was coughing up "stuff" and couldn't breath, I slept in the waiting room that night, and the next day he was breathing clearly .... that night he fell into what seemed a deep sleep. he was snoring then around 8 his breathing became erratic. My Mom, two of my sisters and my oldest brother were all there. We held his hands and there was many tears but also an overwhelming sense of love in the room. I would like to say that I accepted quite well but there right after his last breath I started to loose it. I left the room walked sobbing into the waiting room and although not audible I swear I could "feel" him talking to me. From somewhere came a calm. I sat down and told him "ok... ok Dad" I said, then I walked back in and gave him one last kiss. My Dad was truly my hero in so many ways... he was the first one to hold me when I came into this world and I absolutely hope he is the first when I leave it. thank you again for just taking the time to read my words.
