His health declined pretty steadily over the last 10 months...
On his 85th bday he was diagnosed with pneumonia...
A couple weeks later on the day my nephew was born, he was admitted to the hospital...
After a couple weeks he was back home and I was caring for him there...
But on August 11th he want back into hospital...and I knew he wasn't coming back :(
While in hosital his health declined rapidly
I told my sister living in Spain she should come as soon as she could and she did...
He died 4 days later - only hours after meeting his new grandson for the first time (they weren't letting baby into his room, not until it was apparent he was dying).
I'm heartbroken.

my Daddy...

Since I don't have kids, I can't imagine that anything is ever going to be
harder on me than the loss of my folks. I'm so very sorry for what you have
lost. My hope is that the relationship you had was so full that, in time,
that is what overwhelms even the grief of loss.

So sorry for your loss. It must have been hard at times caring for him but at least you  know you tried your hardest and were there for him when he needed you most

I hope I did all I could for him... I tried...
I also felt like he was tired and wanted to go...

during one of those last days when I was there at the hospital he said "don't leave"... :(

towards the end his breathing became very labored...he started with what they call the death rattle...
we had to make the decision to put him on the morphine-drip so that he'd be comfortable...
I knew that soon after the drip started that he'd no longer be lucid...so I sat with him the entire time...and as the morphine began to take affect, he did seem more relaxed...and at one point he opened his eyes and I was sitting right where he could see me and I said "Hi Dad!" and smiled...and he lifted his hand and gave me this little wave...after that he fell back asleep and never had another lucid moment.
