Sorry for your loss sir, but glad his earthly suffering is done. I miss my Pop every day, some little something I would like to tell him, though the state of this country might have done him in if he were alive to see it.
Sorry for your loss Roger. Condolences to you & your family. You did a stand up job taking care of him till the end. Any Father would be proud of a son to take on that responsibility and stick it out. Many would have just sent him to a nursing home. God Bless You.
Condolences. You did the man right by allowing him the dignity and comfort to be cared for and finally breath his last at home amongst family instead of at a strange nursing home surrounded by strangers. His suffering is now over and the burden is lifted from you as well.
You did your best for him Roger. It was your dads time and he was among family till the end. You did the right thing man and dealt with the adversity of it all.
All will work out now given some time. Sorry for you and your family's loss.
Sorry to hear this. You took great care of him and did what you could to make him comfortable.Your a great son and he knew it. Now be sure to take care of you.
My deepest condolences Roger. You proved what the love of a good son looks like and nobody can ever take that away. You’re a good man and one most of us would be lucky to call a friend!
It's always hard, Roger, no matter how long it's been coming and how well we think we're prepared for it. When my mother died it was hard even though it was, by then, a blessing. Condolences to you and your family.
It's a showing of love and responsibility taking care of our parents until death as you and yours have done. Praying for you. We remember meeting your Dad had a couple of long conversations with him and enjoyed him very much. I know you will miss him terribly. Condolences to you and yours Roger. Teri as always sends hugs.
You did right by him and I'm sure he was grateful for it, even though he might not have expressed it (not that I know one way or the other). Hang tough, friend.
I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. You were a great Son to him. You took care of him all the way to the end. Not many would do that anymore. You Sir are a standup Son. His suffering is over now. God bless you Roger.
Roger, your father raised a damn fine son who was there for him when he needed it the most. I’m sure that gave him tremendous comfort as he moved on from his earthly bounds.
Thanks, everyone, I've never lived more than a 15-minute drive from my Patents and they lived here with me for the last 14, my mom passed 8 yrs ago. It's going to be hard not having him here to bitch at me.
This is what I'm going to miss the most, he loved to bitch at me when I'd tease him a little.
Sorry for your loss, STX. I may well be visiting my Step-dad tomorrow for the last time. 94 years old and health failing fast. Good on you for caring for him. Beats heck out of a nursing home. Hope I am that lucky when I need the help.
Sorry to hear that. It was his time to go, and he had people who loved him with him and taking care of him at the end. A man can't really ask for more than that. Sounds like you had a good dad, and he had a good son.
Said big prayers for you yesterday and will pray today for comfort and healing, for you and your family. Hats ofd to a fine man that took care of his family. Also hats off to a fine son that took great care of his Dad.
I’m very sorry for your loss Roger. His time of suffering is through. We’re typically taught manliness from our Fathers. It certainly seems to me that you took the instruction well. You were able to allow him dignity to the very end. Prayers of peace, comfort and clarity as you move forward.
You have my condolences. I can only hope that your Dad was like mine, a mentor, a friend, and a hero. The Old Man’s been gone 11 years now, but there’s never a day goes by that I don’t remember him with a smile, and that I don’t thank God for giving me such a great Dad. I’ll send a few prayers your way. 7mm
I know we spoke about it today, but Godspeed to you and the family, brother. I'll miss your pops. He was a good man, and always a gentleman and both welcoming and kind to me.
Roger, in the most caring and respectful ways, you were all in for the long haul - and you knew what you were facing. You have my deep respect for what you have done with and for your Dad. He knew all of the above, and more. I am sorry that you have lost him.
Passing away in your sleep at home after a good, long life while “surrounded” by family is a true blessing! There are so many worse ways to go than at home in your sleep and I can only pray I’d be as lucky as your dad.
Sorry to hear about your loss Rog.. It is not an easy place you are in now.. but Thank God your dad doesn't have to see where this country is going... I saw the clip of the interview with that WWII Marine last night. that was like a twisted knife. but it certainly creates the urge to fiight for the country that all those boys died for...
