My dad has been going through that for the last several years.

I think you have a gift and your dad probably gave you some of his talents.<br /><br />My dad was 92 when he died. I had the power of attorney for health care so I had to make the decision to stop everything. He, too, died of kidney failure and an illius brought on by a fall that caused a gash in his head. We brought him home and he died peacefully. It was what he wanted. I wish I could have known him better as he was one that didn't talk much about how he was feeling. He was a gentle man who wanted things done his way. LOL I miss him.Bobbie Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-55117518525843284402011-06-20T14:30:21.258-07:002011-06-20T14:30:21.258-07:00Six -- I'm sorry your dad had to endure that h...Six -- I'm sorry your dad had to endure that horror. :-(Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230915556455020371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-57675258918972282962011-06-20T13:16:53.188-07:002011-06-20T13:16:53.188-07:00Beautiful story Eric, about your wonderful Dad.

Yes, during the World War 11 years, he spent some time in a concentration camp. Never spoke to me about those terrible years. Yes, I loved him, because he saved my life, and the rest of our family as well. And I regret that I did not know get to know him better. Because he was always a kind and gentle man. Yes, there are times when I still do cry, regretting this. Yes, my dad was a good one, and in my mind, will always remain so.sixofthebestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-52960627680309839072011-06-20T10:19:51.210-07:002011-06-20T10:19:51.210-07:00joey -- thanks!

My own father had a quad bypass in January following 2 heart attacks. Unlike you, having grown up with a mother who was a cardiac nurse on the open heart unit of a large hospital, I knew painfully well during his time in surgery and after exactly what it all entailed.<br /><br />It's great that you conjure up anecdotes about the man who was so important in your life. :)<br /><br />sarahsarah thornehttp://www.sarahthorne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-22750659745733479562011-06-20T03:04:11.918-07:002011-06-20T03:04:11.918-07:00Big Hug Erica.
