My Father, My Friend,
It brought tears to my eyes my last visit with you Dad. How your condition finally worsened to the point we both new your fight would soon be over. We did, however, manage to spend some quality time together during that visit, sharing some stories, watching tv and interacting one on one. You waged a courageous battle, staying pro-active and in charge during the entire campaign. Never refusing to yield and always welcoming engaging conversation, I'm sure to help sooth your pain and stimulate your senses. That's when you thrived, showing your intelligent side. Over the years you brought a smile to a lot of lips. Especially when you had a funny line or joke that made you laugh so hysterically, while every one else in the room were looking at each other and just didn't get it! Eventually the entire room would be in stitches with comments towards those lines and bringing the laughter to an entirely new level. I even remember the last laugh we had, on a visit prior to this one with Me, Ann, Darlene, Ursula and Renate at your Home in the Living Room. I was helping you to bed, pushing behind you to help you in your walker. Some one yelled out Conga, and the line formed. Everyone began, shaking and laughing! Even you were shaking your Booty back and forth and all of us, including you, just broke up and laughed so hard. That will definitely be my last fond memory of us having fun and laughing together! Through Life you had your stubborn streaks, but on the most part, You were kind, thoughtful, playful, helpful and hard working . Thanks for all you've done for me. I truly appreciate it Dad. During Life You did it all, The way you wanted til the final age of 91. I know you were trying to live forever,and had you found a cure to your ailment it would have given you several more years of Good Quality Living. With all the projects you had going on, when your condition struck you down, you'd think you had another 10 years at least. I know you were very disappointed for your downfall, that your condition evolved so quickly with you not being able to complete those projects you wanted to, oh so dearly, finish. You wanted so much more interaction with Ann, your Family's and Friends as well. You seemed to want so much more in life. I think with all the Loving Help You had from Ann, The Family's, Friends and Caregivers, you could say we all wanted you to Get Better Too. Without them you wouldn't have made it this far and given us those extra memories. I am so thankful for all those wonderful Angle's for assisting and making your final days so much more pleasant and comforting. I tip my hat to everyone of them.
Well Dad, one thing you won't miss is all the pain as it is gone and sorry to say ,so are you. And as our Pain begins as we mourn your loss, I will cease my rambling. Always remember you will be deeply missed and hold a special place in my heart that no one could ever fill. Good Bye from this world Dad and my Hopes are that you find your self scratching your head in your new place,saying, "Wheeew, What a ride...Boy Was I Wrong!"
Love You Always and Forever, Your Son.
