It's been two weeks since my dad passed

@fun4us2b I'm sorry about your dad🌹 refresh me how he passed? Yes I was grateful I got three weeks with him until he passed, from his diagnosis date. The hospice nurse said that's a lot, but it didn't feel it in all honesty. Some people even get six months to a year prognosis, which isn't long but better than three weeks 😟 But yes some don't even get to see their dad ever, or they pass when the person was a kid etc. I'll cherish those days we did get to watch another show while he was in hospice, and I held his hand often..🩷

@Baybreeze My Dad was 98.5...but even still I thought he'd make 100 !
I saw him on Saturday, he was himself. Many times when I said goodbye I wondered if it would be the last, I received the call Tuesday - he'd had his breakfast and then passed during his morning nap....

He had a stroke in 2010 and they said he had 6-18 months...but they didn't know my Dad 😅

From 2010 to 2025 our bond grew so strong...as you say, just sitting together watching a show...

I spoke to a customer a pretty tough guy I've known for many years and told him my Dad passed...he said, "Yeah my mom passed away 6 months ago, and I'm still fucked up"

It's an ongoing process...

@fun4us2b That's wonderful that he lived such a long life. My dad wasn't young of course but not really old either..he was 72.

That's very peaceful he passed in his sleep. Sounds like one true survivor after the stroke. My dad also was a stroke victim and that's one reason they didn't offer chemo. He was stroke victim, bed bound and had a leg blood clot last year. The chemo would have killed him sooner than cancer..he was not in pain, but I wish he didn't have such a horrible aggressive type. On the second to last day, he could barely talk. That was so sad. He muttered, Can't talk good. I felt so helpless. But I can't change what happened. I just know his spirit will be with me always.

@SatanBurger I'm sorry about your grandma 🌺 I'm sure she was grateful for your hugs🩷
I just wish I hugged him more, when I'd leave my visit, when he was ok last year, I didn't typically hug him. He was bed bound. But I will always remember hugging him the day he passed, I will have that.

@MrBrownstone I had never heard that, ty for sharing.
