Update:
My fathers new nickname is the "ironman"...he is still with us.  No response at all, but his vital signs are off the charts but stable...bp is low, breathing low....the nurse are amazed.  He is much stronger than we realized...the good thing is ... He is peaceful.  My sister has pushed me out for the night and I am home.  Perhaps he will pass while I am away.  I am at peace with it and will be back tomorrow to meet with the hospice nurse.

I see where you get your drive from my friend!  :smile:

My sincerest condolences.
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.

Henry, here's something a woman I used to work with gave me a long time ago. I came across it yesterday while sorting through some old papers, and thought of you and something Palehorse wrote about his parents not too long ago.

"I am standing on the seashore. A ship spreads her sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. I stand watching her until she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, "She is gone!"

' "Gone where?" The loss of sight is in me, not in her. Just at the moment when someone says, "She is gone, there are others who are watching for her coming. Other voices take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" '

And that is dying.

I've not heard much, understandably, from Henry since he notified me this morning of his father's passing; but I am sure that in the coming days he will stop in and read the posts those of you have made, and will make, to him and his family.

I want to thank each and every one of you for putting aside our differences and supporting our on line colleague and friend in this painful time within his life. I am proud of my fellow members this day.  :yes:

Perfectly said PH! ♥️😊

I cannot express myself enough on my appreciation by all of your words of support, thoughts and prayers.

I can honestly say I love my forum family...♥️...(despite your crazy liberal views 😀)
