FYI - please all read!

Yesterday my brother and I had to make the horrifying decision to remove our father from life support. Against all odds and hanging on to his last breaths for 11.5 hours, after support was removed, he pasted peacefully.

I pray that no one has to go through what my brother and myself just did and we still have much to do. Things like this certainly make you appreciate life and the times you have with loved ones so much more. Please appreciate all the time you have with your parents. Make sure there is nothing that later on you will say you regret not doing or regret saying. My father and I had a wonderful relationship and I so wish that we could have spent even more time together. So, if you haven't spoken to your parents in a while or told them how much you appreciate them or love them then please take the time you would have made making that extra post or reading something trivial or non important and call them NOW!

Life is too short and precious - embrace it and allow love to grow in your heart!

I am so sorry for your loss...

I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunatley I know all too well what you are going through. I lost my mom 4 days before Christmas. We had a wonderful relationship, and I don't regret anything. I only wish we could have had more time together, and that she could have attended my wedding and meet my children someday. I just have to keep her in my heart, and know that she will be there on my wedding day, and she will know my children before I do, and will be with us every step of the way. And someday, years from now, God willing, she will be there to greet me again.

I am so sorry for your loss. That was a difficult decision that you and your brother had to make.
You will always carry a piece of your father in you heart.

I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago, so I know what it feels like to lose a parent. I miss her every day.

Ron, Liz and family - keeping you in my thoughts. I sympathize with you as I lost my father suddenly almost 5 years ago (5 years, wow, where the heck does the time go?)

Embrace every single moment you have with your loved ones, you never, ever know

ill ask my dad to watch out for your father
