I know most of you are not in to prayers, but my Dad is in deep need of them at this time.  This is one of my most difficult time of my life right now

You got mine HH. I may.not attend church a lot but one can pray without ever attending a church. A church is just a building to me.

How's he doing, Hank?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Thanks guys,

For a 92 year old guy with bad hips, he is going okay.  The problem is in order to beat this pneumonia, he needs to have physical therapy.  That is hard to do with bad hips.  The bigger problem, is that he wants to die.  Not that I don't disagree with him.  He is ready.  His quality of life is not good. 

I only want what is best for my Dad.

Trying to figure this out is NOT easy.

HH, I am of the firm belief that we all know when it is our time to go. Humans and animals, they know when it is time.

If he wants to walk into the white light, let him go, Henry. If you can handle it emotionally, stay with him, hold his hand, talk to him.

HH, do what is best for him. When I had to do what I did for mom I realized I wanted her treated to keep her here for me, not her, and was going against what she wanted and had expressed many times. Once I did what I knew she wanted I felt sad but at peace with myself. Hope that helped you some.

   Henry, my dad passed when he was 91.  He had been ready to go for two years.  When the time for his trip into the unknown I called Hospice and they came in and relieved him of his pain and he went in his sleep.   :'( :'(

  My wife had the same thing happen to her mother and she called Hospice and they really helped my mother-in-law pass  peacefully.   :'( :'(

  I had a close friend who had Cancer and was in great pain his wife call Hospice and they help Pat to  pass peacefully.  In fact the last day we were sitting at his kitchen table eating some Church's chicken which I brought him knowing how he loved it.  As we sat there I asked him how longer did he have.  He told me that his Hospice lady told him that he had no more that 2 days to live.  He said he asked her how she knew.  She said that she have been with Hospice for overs 15 years and she knew what the signs were.  We left when the rest of his family came in, telling I would be back tomorrow.  But tomorrow never came, he died that night in his sleep at 2AM in bed with his beloved wife.  My wife and I think Hospice is the thing for anyone to do when a loved one is in his last days.  Good Luck, The Troll.
