OT - my dad died
I posted this in another group and I've been very busy helping Mom and
grieving. Dad lost his battle with cancer on Father's Day. We all got together Sunday and he actually tried to eat some, and he'd been doing better since Mother's day. My niece got married on the 13th and he did very well that weekend, though he got sick eating at the restaurant breakfast bar the next morning. He had been to church that Sunday morning on the day he died and everyone commented that he looked well. By the time we all got together for dinner that night he felt weak and also got sick after eating a little bit, but then he ate some dinner and some ice cream cake for dessert. After we all left and he'd gone to bed, he woke my mom up and was throwing up blood and she called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He didn't make it there. Viewing on Friday, and funeral on Saturday. Some of the family that came for my niece's wedding the week before are coming back for his funeral. Some can't and that's understandable and I feel bad for them because they want to. My dad was a genius, seriously. He worked for 41 years for the government for the DOD as a nuclear physicist. Mom and dad were able to travel quite a bit after they both retired, so I'm happy that he got to have some time to live it up before he got sick. -- Cheryl |

He sounds like an amazing man who was able to enjoy every little bit of life that was allotted to him. Ice Cream cake on Father's day sound like a nice last meal. Jo |
