They told me my father......

...is dying. It's hard to believe, he's so alert and alive at times, tho' those are getting to be fewer and farther between. They told my mother they had done all they could for him, if they tried any other procedures they would cause even more damage than he has now.
The emphezema and the pneumonia have cause more damage than his body can tolerate. Other complications have added to the toll.
It could be 24 hours or several weeks. He wants to go home and die there. If he goes home they have already indicated he may not last the day. Just last week they were holding out hope he was improving, slowly, but still they thought there was improvement. It is 'funny' how fast a situation can change to what no one expected.
The whole family is down, or will be by tomorrow, at least those who are able to make it. From as far away as California and Texas.

All I'd want to say, is that I know the feeling of your familymembers who are a long way from you and your father.
Sat here in Greenland, two days travel from my family - when I lost my mother in april and father in December 2003.
You will all be in my thoughts.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
program at home.
I will say a prayer for you and you family.

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
Please accept my deepest condolences and prayers for the family. I never completely recovered from the loss of my father, and I know what you are going through.
God Bless.
How you doin'!

I appreciate you and all the others extending support and encoragment. I am numb and in tears alternating. I know you all mean it, just your thoughts are good enough and well received.

Powder. There is nothing I can say to make it better. I still get tears in my eyes for my Dad from time to time -- it has been 9 years.
Nothing hurts like losing a parent. Only thing that could be worse is losing a kid.
My dad lasted 6 months. It was okay the first 5. That last was painful for him and us.
I will give you a hint. It worked for me and my dad. We had said all there was to say and he was too tired to visit. I picked up a book a well wisher had left and like he did for me when I was a little kid -- I read to him. He stayed alive until the day after I finished the book. I think he wanted to hear the ending. The name of the book was "Saved by the Light" by Betty Eddy. I am pretty sure that was it. Find it and read it. If not to your Dad, then to yourself. It helped me and my dad. Funny thing is that one of his best friends was a high school classmate and she was the mother of one of my best friends and after Dad died I was telling him about the book. He looked at me like he had seen a ghost, all he said was "That was the last book my mother read before she died and she tole me to read it" She died unexpectedly of a heart attack.
Powder. "Thy will be done" Have a good cry, it is the manly thing to do.
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I
advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives
boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the
ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no
character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of
your walks." Thomas Jefferson

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.

You and your family are in our prayers!

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I lost my dad 13 years ago ,,, He was 49 & I was 24 & pregnant for my daughter. Still seems like yesterday.
Keep your faith & tell him you love him often !! I never got the chance to say goodbye & that still bothers me.
You are in my thoughts & prayers
