It is done. [View all]

Yesterday evening my father entered hospice. He was lucid enough that he was able to hear my SO and I over the phone sharing our love for him with him one last time.

Today at 12:45pm local time, my father died. It still feels so unreal in some ways. We all know that death is a part of our lives. I have known for some time that my father was old and had numerous health problems, and I still imagined that my daddy would never die, right?

So today, I begin to grief. I want to thank each and every person who has shared stories, thoughts, prayers, etc. with me here on these forums. Y'all have been wonderful, and I so appreciate it.

I may not be on much over the next few days, and then again I may be a lot in order to distract myself from some of these feelings. My mother is a wreck and even at a distance I have much to do to help her make this transition.

Again, thank you all.
