Flyinfool Posted July 20, 2019 #1 Posted July 20, 2019 My dad was moved to Hospice on Wednesday 7-16, Today at 1:30 am we were all called in because they felt his time was very close. It is now 8:40PM and we are still in vigil with Dad. He is now down to taking 5-6 breaths and then stops breathing for a full minute. With every stop we are praying that it will be the last. Would appreciate your prayer and good thoughts that Dad may very soon be free of the pain and suffering. My Mom and all 5 of his children will be at his side till the end.
Freebird Posted July 20, 2019 #4 Posted July 20, 2019 Prayers for your dad and your family. May the Lord give you strangth.
SpencerPJ Posted July 20, 2019 #5 Posted July 20, 2019 Prayers for your dad, you, and all the family.

BlueSky Posted July 20, 2019 #13 Posted July 20, 2019 Sorry for your loss, FF. I remember how tough it was when I lost my parents, my Dad in 1989 at the age of 79 and my Mom in 2005 at the age of 93. I'd love to be able to spend one more day with them.
Prairiehammer Posted July 20, 2019 #14 Posted July 20, 2019 May I express my sincere condolences, Jeff? Your Dad's loved ones were there and his very last cognizant observation was that. That all his kids and his wife were there to see him off. Imagine the relief and contentment he felt!
Dano Posted July 21, 2019 #15 Posted July 21, 2019 Same out to you from here ol' buddy,,,prayers out to you and yours
videoarizona Posted July 23, 2019 #16 Posted July 23, 2019 Our condolences, Jeff to you and your family on the loss of your dad. Prayers to you and your family!
Heimdog Posted July 31, 2019 #17 Posted July 31, 2019 I'm sorry to read of this. I feel your pain as I lost my Father this past December after a long illness.
Marcarl Posted July 31, 2019 #18 Posted July 31, 2019 Just got to see this,,,, don't know how or why I missed it. Blessings to you all as you go through a mourning period. Remember all he did for you and how blessed you were to have him be a guidance in your lives, so that you can pass it on and do that for others that enter your life.
skydoc_17 Posted September 30, 2019 #20 Posted September 30, 2019 Dear Jeff, I just saw this, and both Jean and I wanted you to know that you are in our prayers, my friend. I personally wasn't present when my father passed, and to this day, it is one of my greatest regrets. You were a good son to your father Jeff, and I am sure that you brought him great comfort at the end. Prayers sent to you and your family from Jean and myself. Earl and Jean.
