The End

My amazing Dad lost a valiant fight against Lymphoma tonight....well, actually last night, Thursday, June 29, 2006. He died peacefully in his own bed at home, with his family right there. Not hooked up to a thing. He had enough painkillers to make him comfortable. Mom is a nurse so no need for hospice to come in & have strangers taking care of his personal needs. He simply stopped breathing. But not until we were all home. He stayed somewhat responsive until the last of the kids traveling arrived. I can't think of a better way to go. He even took his last breath after we were all in his room. It was amazing.

We are all sad that such a great man has passed. I am pissed that cancer exists to do such things. My mom looks so small in her bed all alone. We are all so tired having spent most of last night awake. And now there is much to do...
