Sorry to hear of your loss, Pete. I too lost my Dad at the age of 65 in '96, so I can relate to what your going through. It sounds like you have the right attitude- be thankful for the good times you shared with him, support Mom as best you can, and be thankful for your uncle's presence. The pain will fade over time, but never entirely go away. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you everyone. All of you have helped me get through this. His death isn't as hard to get over as it was when he first had his stroke and heart attack. Thinking he was going to have to live like a vegtable was tough. And it wasn't what he wanted either.

After coming to grips with it over last night, and today, I am feeling fairly good. It is more releif that he is at peace now. My mom is relieved too that she won't have to worry about loosing her house to pay the medical bills. If they took him off the cridical condition, their insurance would not have covered anything else, and it would of cost her $1,000 a day to take care of my dad. She would of lost everything they owned in a matter of months. Everyone in our family agrees this was best for everyone. My Dad is in a better place then we are, and will still be around long as we remember him. My mom is going to have him creamated tonight.

Me and my mom are doing good as expected. Thanks again, and please don't feel I got over this to fast. My dad wouldn't want me and my mom dewelling on his passing. But to have us look toward the future.

Sorry Pete.  My Father & I were never close so I can't imagine the pain but know if my Mom passed it would be hard.

It sounds like you have the strength to pull through this so good for you.  Take care & God bless you & your family.

My dad passed about 2 1/2 years ago now and of course I still miss him. He wasn't the best dad and was pretty rough on me over the years but there were a lot of things about him that were valuable to me. It was a similar circumstance in that his health got bad, improved and then suddenly nosedived. Anyway, condolences to you and your family. I know how it feels.

Sorry for the outcome, Pete....But...as you said, he is a peace now. You have our support!!

I would have typed the same thing as TylerCharger69 when I saw the new title: "he's at peace".

I'm sure you already know this......but when your heart is in a million pieces, it takes lots of love and support to get it back together....

I hope this thread helps.

God be with you and yours. Remember to celebrate the life he lived.

Hey Pete, I'm sorry for your loss. I've been pretty busy lately and just saw this thread. I know how hard this is on you and your family and there really isn't much that eases the pain. Just know he loved you as well and remember the times you had together. Think of him when you do or say something you know he instilled into you and know he's watching out for you.

Sorry brother.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My Dad passed just a few months ago.  He was 90 1/2.  He made it through all sorts of health issues.  I had started to believe he'd be around forever and just when we weren't expecting it ... BAM!
I miss him terribly and I know you'll miss yours too.
But as before, just when you don't expect it he'll be there to kick you in the butt and let you know he's watching over you.
My prayers to you and your family.
