overtherainbow Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 My sweet Daddy passed away this afternoon. After a very long night and morning during which he struggled to breathe, our amazing home health nurse found the right combination of pain meds to allow him some rest. Once he was comfortable he just slipped away peacefully. So much pain to deal with, yet so much good to make us smile. Cancer is a terrible, awful disease. But I wouldn't trade the time I had these last two months for anything. What a blessing to be surrounded by people who love you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been struck by the love and strength with which you have surrounded your father. We endeavor to do the same. We feel so deeply for you and empathize. Our condolences.
