Description
At 2 AM Saturday morning on October 17th my Dad, Bard, finished his 3 year fight with a rare blood cancer that had wasted him away to nothing. While my Mom and wife caught a few well earned winks, I sat at his bedside and listened to him struggle for his last breath and then go silent.
He was the most loyal, trustworthy, and stubborn man I have ever known. We are all so happy he will not suffer any longer, however, he will be terribly missed. We will spread his ashes in the San Juan Islands next spring according to his wishes.

I too went through the same process with my Dad about 8 years ago now. I remember it vividly. Look after yourself.

Oh honey!! I know how much you will miss him. This is a wonderful shot of Bard. I can see how much he was enjoying himself. I will be looking forward to hearing loads of Bard stories -- as many as you want to tell me! Hugs to you and M ...

what a wonderful shot of your beloved Dad, and yes I can feel with you bigtime, because I lost mine in February and he looked so much like yours and was the same trustworthy stubborn and loyal brand as yours... and I was glad too he didn't have to suffer any longer like you are for Bard, but oh it still hurts and I still miss him... sending you a big hug and may you find a little bit peace in knowing he is where he will feel no struggle or pain anymore and he will always be in your heart and going with you wherever you go...

My deepest sympathies. I've gone through the same experiences just a few weeks ago. Losing a person like a parent who had such a profound impact on your life is not easy - it seems like the whole world has changed suddenly. I wish you and your family the best.

What a beautiful foto of your dad--a wonderful way to honor and remember him. May he rest in peace and may you all be comforted knowing he's no longer suffereing.

Just been visiting your gallery Eric. This smiling, handsome, inviting face caused me to stop and look. Know how you must have felt last October...I lost my dad in September 2007. He was always a beacon for me. Physically, small (weighed only 90 pounds when he passed at age 99 1/2), but he set great examples for me...not so much by word but by a lifetime of positive examples and deeds.
