Dear Karen,
I admire your strength and pray that you are able to keep it up. My brother was in a coma for three days before he passed, no matter what you expect, how prepared you think you are -you are never quite really ready to say goodbye. I'm so happy that you were able to spend that special time with your dad while he was still awake and aware. I'm certain that it meant a lot to have you with him. My offer still holds, please feel free to call me, anytime. God Bless you all. Donna
