Having your dad stay at the farmhouse must be tough! Stubborn doesn't quite describe him, huh?I went to visit my dad two days before Christmas and found him on the bedroom floor, barely conscious. It turns out that he had suffered another stroke (the previous one two years ago) and I called 911 to get him to a hospital. He was in ICU for almost two weeks and I got news earlier this afternoon that he had passed on.
I took my mother up to see him last Tuesday, so she got a chance to have a final time with him. I arranged then for a priest to conduct last rites at the hospital while she was there.
We all knew this was coming, but it came a lot sooner than we expected, just weeks after I moved my mom here to where she could get assisted living and physical therapy to get her strength back.
I have a lot of things to take care of in the next several days, so I'll likely be taking a time out from posting here for a while.
Take care, jbug, you're a good lady, in every sense of the word.
