Description
Just wanted to post something to let you all know that I may not be around much for a while...
We visited my dad for a little while on Valentine's day.... He has gone downhill noticebly in the last couple of weeks.
Yesterday, I talked with cousin's wife Sandy - she's the manager of the nursing home where my father is staying. He hasn't eaten in the last couple of days. The hospice folks tell us he's probably in the last 4 - 6 weeks.
He's lived a good, long life - he made it to 94 last month, but the sun is now setting.
Anyway, my posting and commenting may be a bit spotty for a while...
Working on Page 21 as time and inspiration allows.
Be back soon....

Beautiful tribute photo Rod. I went through the same thing with my dad back in 2007...he made it to 99 1/2. He had no regrets. I suspect the same is true of your dad. Enjoy him while you can...see you when things slacken a bit for you.

A beautiful picture. My sympathies for your fathers condition, it is never easy. My father passed 40 years younger and very suddenly. I cherish the time I had and cherish the memories.

I went through a few 4-6 week episodes with my Dad over a period of a few years. Do not be surprised at a rally, it often happens. But it is important to be there because when the final days do come they often become quite lucid and you want to be there for those important times.
