Dad is still with us but continues to decline. Hospice will pay a visit tomorrow. Mom is now full of questions for her.

My mom is one amazing woman. She will be 76 years old this October. She only stands about 4'10" tall. I see so much love between her and my dad right now. She is an RN but hasn't been in nursing for years, so she knows from a medical standpoint how to care for dad, but she handles him with such love and tenderness. It's so beautiful, but so sad at the same time.

I know the end is near but I'm ready for dad to finally be at rest. I'd rather miss him for the rest of my life than to see him suffer like this.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Joy
