Dad, I love you

Yes another post on my dad. Today is the first day in hospice he didn't wake at all. It was just awful listening to him wheezing with every breath. He had pneumonia a couple weeks ago in addition to aggressive cancer. It lingered. It's the first day he didn't hold my hand on his own and say * love you*. 😔
No nurse had been in his room for hours when I arrived because his hand was hanging over the bed, blue😯 I brought it up from near floor,and massaged it until Normal. I was there seven hours, didn't wake up.
I'm bracing myself for the next day or two , where he could pass. I'm not ready fully. I don't want to accept this SHIT CANCER that made him so damn weak, so fatigued and in awful pain. But I'm trying to envision life with his physical being not here. He was the only parent I could ask advice. I'm still going to ask him though.

I’m so incredibly sorry. Sitting there for seven hours, holding his hand and watching him struggle to breathe… that kind of love is heavy and sacred all at once.

Hospice days like this are heartbreaking, especially when they stop waking up and saying “I love you” back. But I truly believe he feels you there. Hearing is often the last thing to go — so keep talking to him, keep asking him for advice. That bond doesn’t disappear.

Cancer is cruel and unfair, and you have every right to be angry at it. I’m holding you in my heart as you brace for the next few days. You don’t have to be ready. Just take it moment by moment.

You are very brave. I am certain he knew that you brought his hand back to normal. Love is stronger than anything.

@Pfuzylogic Thank you truly 🌼
It might be comforting to think of what is coming as like what it was like for him a year before he was conceived. It will be different for you but perhaps not for him. Best wishes and we will all be thinking of you.

I think he feels that you are by his side, even if he's asleep.
Nah don’t worry. We on sw are a family we share the same soul 🤗
