My Father is Taking His Last Breaths Today

[Beezer]

He is 87 and has cancer.

He is unable to communicate with me. But I held his hand and told him I won the parent lottery when I got him for a Father. I kissed his forehead...told him I loved him...then played him this song on my phone.

 

[CallMeKate]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this... he may not be able to communicate, but I'll bet he heard you... and the song.

 

[AnnieA]

Pray he is comfortable. So thankful for the love between you and know he feels it.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

That’s the best thing to do, @Beezer …. In hospice we remind family that hearing is the last thing to go…. He knows you were there with him, that’s what’s important. ((Hugs))

I am very sorry about your loss. It's tough, no matter how prepared one thinks they are for something like this.

 

[KSav]

What a touching post, @Beezer. I am very sorry you are losing your father; it's so difficult to lose a parent.

It sounds like you and he have a wonderful relationship. I hope that fact gives you some comfort in your grief.

 

[StarSong]

My heart goes out to you and your dad. Losing a beloved parent is a terrible blow.

 

[Dustbunny]

Sorry to hear @Beezer . It is so wonderful you were able to be with him. He heard.

 

[DaveA]

Thankfully you are able to be with your dad. I'm sure that he's aware of your presence.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

What a precious moment. It’s good that you are able to be with him in his last few moments. Sooth him as he passes from one world to the other.

So is my daughter's father in law. He has lung cancer and now bone cancer. He is in a world of pain. I am leaving to go to her house very shortly. Hospice is with him right now and they told my daughter he will die before midnight.

I'm so sorry Beezer.

Blessings on you both, Beezer and Old Man, for caring for the sick and dying.

My condolences Beezer, may he rest peacefully.

Beezer, he knows you’ve been a good son. Take care of yourself now.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, I will not be here to see,
That the sun will rise and find your eyes; filled with tears for me,
But please know you're always in my heart, and I will forever love you,
And know, each time you think of me, I will be missing you too.

When tomorrow starts without me, I need you to understand,
That an angel came, he called my name and took me by the hand.
He told me it was time to go up to heaven far above,
And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

When tomorrow starts without me, I know that you will cry,
For all my life I’d always thought that I would never die.
I had so much life ahead of me; I had so much to do,
It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.

When tomorrow starts without me, I think of the good days, and the bad,
I thought of all our fights, next to all the fun we had.
If I could have stayed, just for a little while,
I would say I'd always be here, and then I'd make you smile.

When tomorrow starts without me, I'll realise that this could never be,
As all that would be left of me, is frozen in memories.
Then I thought of all the beautiful things that I would miss tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.

When tomorrow starts without me I will walk through heaven’s gate,
I will feel at home even without my soul mate.
I know this is what I wanted, deep down within my bones,
And God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.

When tomorrow starts without me I see everything He promised me,
“Today your life on earth is past, and now you can be free.”
“I promise no tomorrow as today will always last,
And since it's all the same you will not be longing for the past.”

So when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart.

Praying for a Pain-free passing.

My deepest condolences, Beezer. One of the reasons your father was a great dad is that he had a great son.

Thinking of you @Beezer

 

[Muskrat]

there are no words…but my thoughts are with you.

Deepest condolences Beezer. It is the saddest time but at least he knows you were there till the end. When my dad passed away, I thought my heart would break but I knew he was going to a better place to be with his darling wife who passed away 3 months before him. R.I.P.
