I had to place my dad into hospice last week
He will be 73 in June
However he is dieing of kidney failure , his numbers are rapidly increasing.
I was told lastnight
he may only have 1 month left of life.
I ask for ers that he passes in his and he does not endure pain.
I am so sad by this , as I have only really had since 2003 to get to see the good in this man.
he has done some very awful things and I am grateful I got the chance to find the good in him, and I cna say I will cherish every moment I had with him since 2003, it was a rough road for me dealing with him , but over time , he got better and he started showing me respect .
I ask for all your ers
Diane
Diane, you have our ers and thoughts. I hope and that he will experience a peaceful passing on the wings of s.
You will and always are in my thoughts and ers.

Diane I am sure over the years your father has thought a lot of the past also. Its good that you both had some time to get to know each other better and you had the chance to see the good in your father. He can rest at peace with that now and you can rest at ease also. Cherish the good times, they will you get through.
My ers are with your father for a swift and peaceful flight on his next journey home.

I found a nursing home for my dad that is 15 minutes away , they are bringing him back to New York on Monday
right now he is over and hour .
Hopefully he lives till then
I had a talk with my sister as she wrote me yesterday not understanding why I would bring his ashes to my house , after all he did to me , she said he did nothing but talk bad about me and my family and also abused me as a child.
I told her that I live a different life then her, and I have a forgiving heart.
and I wrote more then that. She know wants to see him before he passes, I believe I got threw to her in some kind of way.My father is asking for his children and he also asked about my mother , they have been divorced for about 30 or more yrs, bad marriage
I told him my mom was well but she is sad and lonely since she lost her husband in 2005, and I looked at him and he had tears rolling down his face, I asked him if he was ok ? and he said the sun was shining in the window and his eyes were burning . But there was no sun shining so I know the man was ing.
I told him that I love him with all my heart and that the past few years I will cherish and then I cried
Diane
I am glad to hear that he will be in a nursing home and not in your actual house. I was really worried about you because of how hard it was last time. Please don't forget to take care of yourself and I will keep you and your whole family in our ers.

I am ing for you and your family. I understand about forgiveness with our parents. He knows what he has done and these are days of atonement for him and the only thing to do for him now is forgive him and love him, make his days more comfortable and send him off feeling forgiven and loved..

Remember one thing and take this as i'm writing it
Dad's may hurt us but i really believe that they don't always know what to say or do, know he loves you, no matter what. (i'm speaking from still dealing with the stuff my dad said to me over my life, i forgive him)
huggles
Marie

Marie, that is so nice to hear you forgive your father. I believe its true that sometimes they just don't know how or what to say. Forgiveness can make everyone feel so much better.

That is nice! I never thought about dads just not knowing, but I think you are very right. Boys are brought up to be hard, never ing, tough men and they don't always know the "softer" parts of life.
Diane, its nice to know he will be closer and in a nursing home. I you have close times before he goes. Its really nice to hear you may have gotten through to your sister a little.
