Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Dear , Please accept my condolences on the passing of your father. I am glad you had the chance to spend time with him today, and that he was comfortable. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Much love, Piper **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 ((((HUGS)))) Gladys -- Re: / Dad , thanks for your kind words. Shortly after I sent the email this am, I got a call from my dad's private duty caregiver at the NH. She knew his time was near. My husband & I were fortunate to get there and were able to spend a little time with him before he died. Overall, the last three days were pretty peaceful and he appeared comfortable. I'm sure it took everything we've been through for the past few years to get us to that place. I'm grateful for all the time I had with him and with the understanding I developed going through the journey with him. Some times were trying(!!!!), but I was so grateful to have found the common ground with everyone on this list. Whether you write in the list often or seldom or if you just read, there is a connection and it does help to know there is someone else going through the same things. A thank you to everyone who shares their stories and does what they can to help their loved one. Things don't always turn out the way we might want, but in the end, if the love shines through, we survive the Lewy ride. Have faith in yourself and always have hope.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 , You have my condolences. I am glad your Dad had a peaceful ending. And I am glad you got an opportunity to say good-bye. You will be in my thoughts during the next week which you celebrate his life. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh.
