I really appreciate your support.
Dad had his first heart attack at 42 when I was in the 8th grade and no one would have bet that he'd have made it to his 86th birthday.
He was great mentally up to very recently, but it was time. We cannot say enough positive things about the hospice care he received at home, and I marvel at the strength of my mother and my brother (who lives next door to them.)
So far it doesn't suck nearly as bad as I always imagined it would, but we'll see. Our family has a sense of humor about all things - death included - and life goes on.
Tom
