[QUOTE="Shari, post: 352641, member: 1848"] My dad has been gone 3 years now. He was 67 and had just fully recuperated from having both knees replaced and was beginning to enjoy life again after 10 years on the couch. We had no idea. Far as we knew, he was healthy as a horse. *** My nephew spent part of his spring break at my folks' that year. Work was crazy for me that year, I was pretty sure I was going to be fired, but for some reason, I bit the bullet and took off on a Tuesday and drove up with Wee to spend the day with my mom and dad and nephew. We colored Easter eggs and Wee sold the same eggs to my dad over and over and over. lol. Exactly one week later, I got the phone call that he was gone. *** Sometimes I envy folks who get to say good bye. Other times, I think it was a blessing. My dad went the way I think most of us want to go...enjoying every day. *** Anyway, don't mean to hijack your thread, just want to say I'm glad you stopped in and I'm glad he has decided to surround himself with loved ones. I wouldn't trade that last day with my dad for the world. [/QUOTE]
