Today I had to leave early. My dad who has terminal cancer. has take a
turn for the worse.

so bad in fact the family gathered and I with the attorney went to the
company to plan to pick him up when he expires. and fill out the forms.

I was able to see him today while he was still with us and able to
mildly respond.

Before I left. kissed hi on the forehead and said hi dad.

stayed a while and held his hand, and just talked.

Then left the room to make the calls.

My brother took dads dog for a walk as the poor wee beastie is upset.
And at first was keeping everybody from dads bed. Poor little guy......

Although My dad and I have talked about this as he is tired of the
fight and wants to be at peace with mom ..

It is still not easy to watch this happen, and again as with mom I am
doing the ground work to keep the legal ends together and well.... the
end planning that is just hours away.

I am home to get my son and I am keeping him here. at ten years of age
he is too young to be in house while we do the Vigil .

I stayed up 36 hours with mom when it was her time.

My brothers have told me its ok to miss this one.

Will update you all as soon As i can.

Be well be safe.

with Love.

Douglas.
