I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Movikx, you got him home! I'm sure that has made him so happy. I'll be praying for him, you and your family.

I want to thank all of you for the prayers for my dad, but it looks like his journey here on earth is coming to an end. He had a great night Saturday. He was talking up a storm. My grandsons were spending the night with us. He called out for them and my wife and I to come into his bedroom before he went to sleep so he could tell us all good night and he loved us. I think he knew what was coming and he was telling us goodbye. Things deteriorated fast after that. His lungs are filled with fluid and things are shutting down. I brought hospice in today. We’ll be starting morphine as soon as it arrives. I know this is for the best but I’m having a hard time letting go. I’ve been caring for him for 6 &1/2 years now and the bond and love I have for him has grown! Wow, so sorry to hear. And thank you for keeping us informed and sharing with us, I know its hard. Please know you and he are in my thoughts and I wish you nothing but the best but understand this is the darkest days for you.

Thanks, guys. It’s tough using the suction machine and administering the comfort meds every two hours but family is making the process easier. My wife picked up my aunt. She says she’s staying with him till the end. His brother was over. I’ve been getting calls from numerous cousins. Dad is 9th out of 16 kids, so I have a lot of cousins, many at least 10 years older than me. The common theme I’m hearing from them is “Uncle Bill was like a father to them when they were growing up, is there anyway they can come say my goodbyes?” I told everyone of them they could come over. There are restrictions on funeral attendance so I figured there’s no better way for them to show their respect to him than coming by to see him. It’s actually helping me to deal with things by listening to their memories of dad from their childhood.

Dad passed at 10:38 last night. I was holding his hand and talking to him when he passed. I was dealing with things fairly well till the funeral home was leaving with him. When I saw them wheeling him down the hallway with that “Big Beautiful American Flag” draped over him I broke down.

Wow, so sorry to hear but am so glad you could be with him at the end. It seemed a week ago that was in doubt.
Please reach out to any of us if we can help. You and him are in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to you and your family Movikx. This poem was comforting to me, passing on to you.
Your Spirit – A Tribute to My Father By Tram-Tiara T. Von Reichenbach
I know that no matter what You will always be with me. When life separates us I’ll know it is only your soul Saying goodbye to your body But your spirit will be with me always. When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch I will know it is you singing to me. When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain. When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention I will know it is you reminding me To appreciate the simple things in life. When the sun shining through my window awakens me I will feel the warmth of your love. When I hear the rain pitter patter against my window sill I will hear your words of wisdom And will remember what you taught me so well That without rain trees cannot grow Without rain flowers cannot bloom Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong. When I look out to the sea I will think of your endless love for your family. When I think of mountains, their majesty and magnificence I will think of your courage for your country. No matter where I am Your spirit will be beside me For I know that no matter what You will always be with me.

Sorry to hear this Movikx. It is good that were with him to the end. Remember it is difficult time right now for you and your family but he is free of the pain and suffering in this life. And it isn't goodbye it's until you meet again in eternal Glory with our Lord.

Big ruling on vaccines. Media did not cover it. Get the word out there.
