and this really sucks. 88 years old. He's been fighting it, but he can't anymore; His body has just had enough. He taught me so much, and I've never thanked enough (tho he'd probably say otherwise). I fly down to Sacramento first thing in the morning to say goodbye.

Sorry about your dad, Jazz. I don't know what I'd do without mine, thoughts are with you though!

The hardest thing to do in our lifetime is to say goodbye. Perhaps knowing it's temporary doesn't make it much easier.
May you and your father find peace.

Sorry to hear, hope he is as comfortable as he can be. Hope that you and he are at peace with each other, with nothing left unsaid. I've done half of this story with my mother and expect it will be happening in the near future with my father. Take care.

I lost both my parents many years ago. In some ways you never stop missing them, but you learn to move on.
Best wishes for a peaceful exit for your father and some peace for you.

Sorry man. It is something we all must face and it isn't easy, and it is hard to come up with the proper words to say.
My condolences bro.

Having just gone through all this -- I will say that it is easier having no regrets.
We spend too much of our lives having to let go of things and people -- but sadly that's part of being human. The good news is you get to hold on to all the best parts of your dad -- because the gifts he gave you remain long after he's gone.
I know that to be true, Kevin, because that's where I'm at right now.
God bless you and your famiy.

Thanks to everyone. I just arrived at his bedside and he won't wake up at thus time. Ive told him I'm here and he reacted for a moment but is basically non-responsive.
John, thank you for your words of encouragement. I have no regrets with my dad. We've had an awesome relationship as father and son.

Don't know you, but this is obviously a terrible situation to be in.
Be Well Comrade.

I'm glad to hear you have such a good relationship with him. Without a doubt, you made his life better than he could have ever hoped. Sorry to hear you're going through this, my friend.

My deepest condolences Bro... been there, just before the fire (Mom) The process for old people who don't go quick is like a pendulum with smaller and smaller swings every day. And it really sucks.
Holler if ya need anything.
