At least he lived a good life. Hugs and condolences to you. I'll send you some healing vibes.

Treasure every moment you have with him. Sending strength and love.

I was the only one with my mom and she went moments after I was told she was dying (less than 24 hours after the fall that killed her).
Treasure the time you have left, and don't second guess any decisions.

May you and your family bask in the love you have for each other and may memory be a blessing now and in the future.

He sounds like a wonderful man - and you are wonderful kid! I've been in your shoes. It's so hard. But he's in the right place and surrounded by love.

And hey, maybe his wish will come true!

Your father sounds like a wonderful man. as time passes may your memories of him warm your heart.

as you care for your Dad in his last days.❤️

I'm sending my best wishes for comfort and peace for him as he completes this journey, as well as for you and your family.

I wish him peace and offer you and yours comfort.

cherish the time you have.

To spend his life with. I'm sure he's secure in knowing you and the rest of your family will be successful in ridding our nation of the orange menace. Let him rest now. Love and Peace.

What a remarkable man, and what a remarkable family he and your mom built together. I'm sending warm and supportive hugs to you through the ether here, and a special hug to your dad for all he has done.

a loving offspring- it’s all we can hope for. A blessing indeed. Peace be with your Dad and your family. May the days ahead
land gently.

as you and your loved ones face this difficult time. You are in my thoughts, Pacifist Patriot.

(((((((((((( * )))))))))))).

Glad you posted this here. I know there’s TONS of sympathy, empathy, and solidarity surrounding you from us at DU.

You’re exactly the kind of support he needs right now. And you’re being loving and supportive as can be. Just know you’re loved and cared about, ESPECIALLY with this difficult journey ahead of you. Please do post how it’s going, and keep us updated as much as you can (although I know you have other priorities on your mind right now). Everybody here will understand.

Sending lots of hugs and vibes of strength.

And if it’ll help, remember what DUer Skittles once said: “someone’s always here.” You won’t be going through this alone.

He sounds like a wonderful man. May his passing be peaceful.

A virtual hug to you friend.

at once until the entire lot of them are gone. I’m not religious but I certainly believe strongly in the beyond. ❤️

In the mean time may his passing be gentle and I’m sending your family the warmest wishes and hugs.

I know how painful and difficult this time is for you. I very recently went through a similar situation with my partner, and there is not much that can be said to help make it any better. Try to take some comfort in knowing that you are not alone, and there are people who care.

Please try to make the effort to be kind to yourself.

I'm sorry for your loss; kind thoughts coming your way, special delivery.

It's hard to carry the weight alone.

I'm very sorry for your loss, yes, words fail, don't they?

But it does help to know you're not alone, and that someone cares. Just being able to feel that connection makes a difference. We will survive this. One step at a time.

Will be keeping you all in my thoughts.

Cherish the time you have together .

You will have wonderful memories to get you through the tough days ahead.

Thank you for sharing a little bit of your dad with us.

... and sending waves of compassion and healing to you and your loved ones too

and what a guy. We're never ready for these cycles of life. We celebrate him and his life now, and we will celebrate for him later.

He's gone through a lot.
Sounds like a great guy.
Treasure each last moments togther.
Recall the best times.
Gentle

(I've been there)

It’s all been said here…….savor the good times, let him know how much he means to you, and just love him. 🙏🏻 ♥️

To have raised a daughter like you. Family is everything. The definition of family can be whatever anyone chooses it to be, whether biological or whatever.

I am so sorry for your situation. Like you, I had a dad that I looked up to and his loss was a hard thing. I wish your father a safe and peaceful passing when that time comes. Cherish every minute. Say what needs to be said, if anything. And just love one another.

Peace and comfort to you

I hope you and your dad can find both. Hang in there, Pacific Patriot.

much love to you and your family and peace to him as he takes this journey.

He had been in a hospital for several months. The palliative care doctors came in and recommended hospice. My kids and my ex-wife sort of nominated me to explain to my ex-mother-in-law and ex-father-in-law what this meant. The palliative care doctors were great but this was still no fun

The hospice was great. I remember making daily trips. My ex-mother-in-law basically camped out at the hospice. My ex-father-in-law had worked for former mayor Sylvester Turner who came to visit him. There is a concept in hospice care of the last good day. My ex-father in law's last good day was when Mayor Turner came to the Hospice. My ex-father-in-law was alert and had a great visit. The next day he declined drastically and had passed within the week.

I am sorry for your father. Hopefully you will get to spend some time with him at the hospice.

Vibes for a gentle crossing, and peace and healing for all of you.

And, who knows, he may still see the orange scum gone!

We must all lay our burden down sometime-when we falter and at life's end. We find peace in the faith that our friends, family, and community, including the DU community, will carry on in our absence. I wish you and your family peace during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing your dad's story, beautiful.

My husband has stage 4 that has metastasized to his bones, take one step at a time and dead breaths. I’m sorry 😢

It's a shifty boat to be in, isn't?

There may still be time. We might get some clarity on the future soon. There might be real hope.

then with my father-in-law, then with my mother-in-law, then with my wife. I have a niece for
my final days, but she does not like talking about it. Please remember that this is not about you,
it is about them. Do everything you can in this time to remember who they are/were and celebrate
every second you can with no hesitation or regret. When it is all said and done, they will live on in
your and everyone who loved them memories. The pain stings every now and then but the memories
of whom they were and what they stood for erases a lot that pain and replaces it with a contentment
that cannot be explained, only felt.

It's all about what he needs and wants right now.

We lost my father-in-law a year and a half ago. It never gets easier, just different circumstances each time.

The Universe take good care of him.

To you and your family.

Warm thoughts and much strength to the both of you.

Sounds like the world is losing one of its good ones!
I hope that when its my time, I will have deserved the love of my children as your father obviously has!
That's really the whole point, isn't it? To have loved, and been loved, well.

the best Universal Vibes!

I'm sending lots of hugs to you, and your family. First, I say thank God for Hospice. My wonderful sister had her last days with us with Hospice help. It's so sad to lose our family members, but with Hospice help, we can share last days while our loved ones are comfortable at home. Remember the wonderful times.

The quality and amount of care increase dramatically.

You really do sound blessed. I hope that at the end no one in your family is burdened with thinking about politics. There will never be enough stability in American political life to make it feel like anyone has "won" anything, so there's no point pinning happiness to it. Even if he was able to arrange it so that he passes on the best day of Obama's Presidency there'd still be some bummer to fuss over, some republican storm cloud on the horizon. This world and the White House and every last seat in Congress will burn eventually, but I have to believe that love is eternal, I hope your family focuses on that when you release that beautiful man to eternity.

But none of us escape the sorrow but those tender moments are so precious at the close of time for our loved ones. My sincere wish for you and your family is the peaceful and proud moments together as you celebrate your father’s life and his legacy 🌺

to part ways in this lifetime.
but i don't believe they go far -- when i went through something similar with my mom years ago it didn't take her very long to let me know she was still with me, around me.
but when she was in the process of leaving this life it was the hardest and most heartbreaking thing i'd ever gone through. i told her it was okay for her to let go (something i never told my father because i was much younger and didn't quite understand the inevitable at that point).

your dad sounds like a great guy and he's surrounded by a lot of love.
