Sorry I've been MIA

My Dad has been hospitalized and is being moved to hospice sometime today. He is in the end stages of heart disease, COPD and emphysema. We're grateful for the last few days which gave me, my sister, mom and him a chance to say everything that needed to be said, laugh, cry, reminisce, etc. A rare and precious gift.

Anyway, that's where I've been and where I'll be for a few days yet.

Love to all,

C.

Oh, Carolan!! (((((hugs!!)))))

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm glad you've had this time though- my grandfather recently passed away and was on hospice, it might sound strange, but it was really nice. The family got to be there in the last weeks, and we could spend time together and with him, and his passing was just very peaceful. We all valued that experience a lot, as sad as it was that it had to happen. I hope you and your family are hanging in there,

Carolan,

I'm sure he is leaving this world with a full heart as he must be exceptionally proud of his sucessful and very compassionate daughter.  I, as well as all of us I'm sure, have you in our thoughts.  Let us know if we can help.
