All the best to your dad,
@lokie.
I've been involved in that sort of care for as long as I can remember. 'Old' family; many well into their 50s when I was born in 1974.
It all comes down to decency and dignity at the end of the day.
I grew up going to visit relatives in the hospital and going to funerals.
I had the unique pleasure of knowing my great grandparents, my moms grandparents, all 4 of them and all of their children, my moms uncles and aunts along with a plethora of older cousins.
Some of my youngest memories are standing in front of a coffin with flowers all around.
There have been many years that went by since my last appearance at a funeral.
I guess I have reached the point in life where the people closest to me will be
departing this rollercoaster ride called life.
I have recently found out that my first love, Lori, passed away. We were close friends from
the first grade and dated in high school for a short period.
I have recently found out that my ex wife passed away. I still liked her.
Someday it will be my turn to turn my toes up to the sun. I hope there will be someone
there for me if for no other reason than to remember that I lived and breathed.
Thank you and all who have my dad in their thoughts and prayers.
