My Father in law is dying with grace Mood
Sunday, November 1, 2009 | A General Update story

Thank you all my dear friends.  I cannot thank you all enough for your kind, kind words and lovely compliments you have given me.  I feel so fortunate and honored to have been a member of this family.  He is such a wonderful man, very giving and caring. 

 

He has been moved out of ICU and is in what they call intermidiate care and hospice.  They are making him as comfortable as possible.  Sometimes he is with us and other times he is with someone else and saying things that make no sense to anyone.  He has the desire to go now.  He wants to be with mom. As his pastor has said we should celebrate life for him now. We should be happy for him and celebrate for him that he will be home soon.

 

I pray for him and I am happy for him but I am greedy and don't want to give up.  I love him and will miss him so much. 

 

Exhaustion has hit and know it is going to be another long day tomorrow.  I will be spending the night with him tomorrow night.  We do not want to leave him alone in his last hours.

    As sad as it is, you are given a gift to beable to spend these final days with a man you love and admire and loved you back, not because of who you were married to but because of who you are. My prayers are with him that he feels comfort and painfree.

    Nancy.... I know the loss of someone that I loved so much... my aunt (raised me) passed away in June and I was with her, with my head laying on her shoulder when she passed.... She shared her most intimate moment with me and I will forever be grateful for that! Know that I love you and that you and your father-in-law are in my heart and prayers!

    Oh sweetie! I am so sorry. I have lost both my parents and I know how you feel. My dad was special and I loved him better than anyone or anything on this earth. Be as strong as you can be and know that God will take care of him. You are in my heart and prayers. (((HUG)))
