I am home now..dad has found peace.
Thank you Theresa. I am so glad it went the way it did. Dang, will I miss him. I did gain someone in this process. His ex-wife is who he lived with. She was the lady that was "not my step-mom but my dad's wife". Yeah I was a bratty teenager,lol. I never thought in a million years, I would say I gave two cents about her. I can say now,that she is so important in my life. The two of us share something that no one else in our families will truly understand. I told my husband, she is our family now. THe lack of my fathers presence here will be felt the most by her. Her own children are all living on the west side of the USA.
I have the feeling she is feelig the same way about me. I knew for sure when she handed me the key to her house yesterday and said "You come over anytime., all of you."
So many people have focused on my loss and I am so worried about her because this would be like losing a husband. They have been together for twenty years. They may have separated but they never parted til now.
So she is know stuck with my lil group.
Happy Thanksgiving and positive vibes

Hi Megan
Your dad was a very lucky man. He had a wonderful daughter with a huge heart. You are so wonderful for fullfilling all his wishes, not everyone is that lucky. The next few days are going to be very hard on you, just remember how much he loved you , and let us all know if you need anything.
hugs

Linda, thank you so much. I do hope we are all so lucky to be able to still be in control of our own last days the way he was. Everything has went smoothly so far. THe only thing I needed and finally managed to get was some sleep. I am going to spend the next couple of days decompressing. Then I have to pick up on my school work. I am not sure how I have managed to maintain my grades but by the grace of god, I am still getting A's.
Happy Thanksgiving and positive vibes
Megan
