Caren Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thank you all so much for your kind words. I know that dad had been deteriorating slowly over the past few weeks, but after being told on Monday that he had weeks left, this morning and a phone call at 6:30am came as quite a shock to us all. Dad managed to wait for me to arrive. I gave him a kiss and told him that I loved him and that it's Ok if he wants to go now. He took another breath and then he left, peacefully. I didn't find the time to speak with him about his final wishes, although I did already know a few of them and so I will work with and build on those and hopefully I will get it right for him on the day.

No matter how we try to prepare, we are never prepared for them to leave, so I understand the shock. I am sure that the day will be everything you want it to be and more - you loved him deeply and that will show in every action. I am wishing you peace and strength in the difficult days ahead Caren.
