Hope this isn't too morose a subject, but we do seem to cover a lot of varied terrain here.
My Dad passed more than half my lifetime ago. I still miss him badly.
He said simply, "It's alright."

Not sure, as he died alone, while deer hunting. Every year, I hunt with the rifle he was carrying on the anniversary of his death.

"Take care of your Mother for me."


Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

"I'm leaving you this legacy"

It bothered me for a long while.

I'm over it.

His last words to me were " I wish you could stay longer"


Son of a liberal: " What did you do in the War On Terror, Daddy?"

Liberal father: " I fought the Americans, along with all the other liberals."

Not Dad's last words but about a month before he told my wife "I know I'm supposed to be dying, but I'm not doing a very good job of it."

I had always hoped I would be by my dad's side when he died. I was with him hours before, visiting him in the hospital where he had been for weeks. It was late afternoon on a Sunday when i had to leave to get back to my home 2 hours away.

He normally was of sound mind but that day was a bit delusional. He was convinced what I can only figure was that a nightmare, was reality. In leaving we were all standing around his bed and the nurse was saying what a fine fellow he was. I felt compelled to simply agree and stated I had never heard an ill word spoken about my dad as I looked him in the eye. He just stared back at me, and we said bye and my crowd and I left. He passed in the wee hours of the following morning.

There was a lot more I needed and wanted to say to that man.

WARNING: Some VA HOSPITAL staff murdered patients.!

He was killed by VA staff, so take heed and look for OTHER OPTIONS before using those"benefits". In fact
IF I could do it all over again I would never even consider using the trashy VA. They cost too many people their lives. That urgent warning out of the way.

The last movie we saw together was The Book of Eli.
The best apocalyptic movie ever made by far. Fitting for the special ending as it revealed God's protection of a blind preacher until it was time for him to leave this world. The character Eli, played by Dezil Washington left a King James Bible that was printed on the Earth's only printing press. My Dad lived a life that was better than any movie and God protected him from multiple near death experiences until he got saved. He left a similar legacy. 2 Months later he was killed by the Veterans Administration hospital staff.

I'm writing books on the events of Dad's life and using what Satan meant for evil and letting God do His will of goodness for many people.
The last important thing he said to me before leaving this world is basically the same prayer at the end of the video that I'm going to post.
Watch it and let me know what you think.
It made a world of difference knowing that Dad is in heaven today and we'll get together soon.

He looked at my mom and said "we had a pretty good life, didn't we?" and stopped breathing a few moments later.
