After three near death experiences this last year, my Dad died in his sleep on Monday night. My brother-in-law found him on Tuesday morning. The EMT said that you could tell that he did not feel any pain, because the expression on his face was so peaceful. My Sister, Kathleen, called me at work to let me know and sent someone to come and get me from work.
He was in a near fatal car accident the day before Thanksgiving 2002, which broke a bone in his back and he had to have back surgery. We rushed him to the hospital in October and December for congestive heart failure. He looked to be on the mend from these experiences and had just been to the Dr., who said he was doing quite well for a man his age (84 - 85 in April).
I already miss him so much. My Dad was a very loving father, who was still very much in charge of his life, even though he lived with my sister and brother-in-law. He gave everything for his family.
I could not believe how many people came to the funeral on a Friday morning! Obviously, he touched many lives.
I got to thinking that my Mom and Dad had been married for 23 years before she died and they have been apart for 23 years and now they are together again.
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to share this with you since some of you have been praying for him. Thank you for you good thoughts and prayers.
