[QUOTE="Jody, post: 425527, member: 8787"] Well I took my daughter to see her father. He has never been an affectionate person, but my goodness he showed her no affection at all. I got a call that he would be dying soon from his girlfriend. I take her up there immediately, I forwarned her as to what he might look like. She was so shocked she walked in and then walked out to get herself composed. She came right back in and we stayed a few minutes. He can't talk but he could write. He didn't write her but he did write me that he was going home. Sure enough he was packed. The nurse said if you go home, I give you 2 hours tops. He got a blood infection and had an IV that filtered his blood and she said it wouldn't be long at all if he got off that machine. He said disconnect it he was going home. So he is at home waiting to die there. His friends got him up in the truck and they drove him around to all of his favorite fishing places and hunting areas. He was so exhausted and weak, they had to carry him out of the truck to the house. Sad. We ended up staying a couple of hours, in the waiting room. She just wanted to be there, near him. She got to spend a few more minutes with him. I ended up making all the excuses that I have before. He just wasn't raised that way honey, but he does love you. yada, yada, yada. I iwsh he could have given her anything, written that I love you, too, a hug anything. She tried to hug him and he said he couldn't because of his incisions and tubes. She said okay, but I could tell she was hurt. Regardless of all of that, I hope he has a little longer to enjoy the outside. He has tried everything and then some. He's tired. I don't blame him, he has really been brave through the whole thing and endured so much. [/QUOTE]
