Just got bad news on my dad. I explained it all in my thread called caregiver for parents but to make a long story short...he is dying and there is nothing more that can be done other than to make him comfortable and try to keep him out of pain. The doctor said it was up to dad and to God.

The heart surgeon even told me that if dad stopped smoking at this very moment, it would not change anything because there is so very much damage done to his heart and veins. I had to be strong and break the news to my mom and even though she says she is prepared, she is still taking it very hard. They have been married 47 years and have never lived apart one from the other.

Thanks friends and especially thanks to my wonderful capnhowdy who is keeping me going!
