Im in FL right now and happy to be with my mom. My father is coming home from the hospital tomorrow. They are going to bring him a bed so he can pass
while around family. They say its only a matter of days now. I think it will make it easier on all of us to not be seeing him in the hospital so we
can see him in a comfortable enviroment. Its been a long day so im off to bed.

she knew she was loved.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread but I just wanted to thank everyone again for the support. Its so nice to be down here with him and im hoping to
stay even longer as long as work will let me. Im spending as much time as possible with him. Lastnight we watched some of season 6 of the Sopranos.
Tomorrow im going to take him for a walk around the block so he can get some fresh air. The doctors told him not to stay in bed all the time. We are
also going to take him to honeymoon island tomorrow (i think its a national park here in FL) which will be nice. He is getting a masauge (sP?) right
now and enjoying it...maybe alittle to much

You bump this thread as many goddamn times as you feel like. Remember the good times, learn from the bad, my thoughts are with you and your family.
Peace.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

words cannot explain how sorry we all are about what you and your family are going through.
here's hoping that you knowing that all of us are thinking about you helps in just a small way.

Nah, you don't owe anyone bro, just focus on the important things and take care. We all know you would offer the same words for any of us.

I had a good day today. My whole family took a ride out to Honeymoon Island which is a very pretty beach here in FL. I wanted to get my dad out of the
car so we could all take a picture with him at the beach but he said it was to cold so we held off until another time. He has been pretty drugged up
on oxycotin and has been sleeping alot. He doesnt like that much. I watched some Sopranos with him earlier today when one of his friends and his son
stopped by. He was cracking jokes and commenting on how Adriana has a " nice ass" which gave us all a good laugh. Im going to be staying down here
until Monday and both of my sisters are leaving tomorrow. I think it would be to hard on him if we all left the same day. He has more relatives and
friends flying in the middle of next week so if I leave monday he will be around good company shortly. His legs and stomach are really swollen because
his liver isnt working correctly which makes him retain fluids. However when I was helping him back into bed I had to lift his legs up for him and the
swelling has gone down quit a bit and where his legs were very stiff and hard they are now much more softer when I give them alittle squeeze, so there
are some signs of improvment that his liver is working better. Its been along day but a good one.

that much.

Everyone is doing fine. My dad is watching Dances with Wolves and resting. Im working on some design stuff and waiting for my cheese steak (yummy).
We're all very tired and im pretty emotionally drained at this point. Its just going to be a relaxing day with hopfully no visiters. My dad has been
very open about his funeral arangments which is weird but nice at the same time. At least I know he isnt afraid which makes me feel so much better.
Also having him here at home and not in the hospital has made this easier on all of us.

I've had very close relatives and a very good friend pass from cancer an it is a terrible thing, however, I do know from those experiences that it is
a million times better for them and the family when they are at home and made comfortable (emotionally). It's a tough thing your going through but
defintilly making it that much easier on your dad.

Im back home now. I left FL at noon and got back to VT around 4:30. My dad came to the airport with me and we said our last goodbyes. It was the
hardest thing i've had to do. I will still talk to him everynight though to make sure he is ok. It feels nice to be home but I wish I could have
stayed longer... Im not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Thank you all for the support. It helped so much through this tough time.
