    Just an update. My dad passed suddenly on Monday, right after he got into the car to go to his cardiologists office of all things. It was very quick and painless. One second he was there, walking to the car and talking, then without a sound he was gone.
    Although I am so sad, I can't tell you how peaceful I feel he did not suffer. We had many talks and I will cherish the closeness we always shared. We were two of a kind my dad and I. He will live on through me and I will make him proud till the end of my days.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Hey Joe, i am very sorry about your dad. I think you made the right decision. I think now what you have to do is be there for your mom. I remember when my dad died along time ago my mom went through alot. she been married to him for over 35 years. try to be there for your mom (i know you will be)

    losing a parent is a hard thing and please make sure that not only are you taking care of her but also take care of yourself. Speaking from personal experience, when my mom died last year i became a robot and i am still trying to come to grips of her not being here. take some time for yourself to process everything.

    again i am sorry to hear about your dad.

    Sorry to hear that. Actually tearing up at this.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. It was fortunate that it was quick and painless and that you all can have peace with that. And I'm sure he will always be proud of you. Continued peace and healing to you and your family.

    Very sorry to hear this but be glad he didn't suffer.

    They put my uncle on hospice yesterday. He's been suffering so long after a bone marrow transplant last year. He passed early last evening. My father was ok with it though (it was his youngest brother) because he knew he was ready to let go and rid himself of the pain he's suffered so much lately.

    It is hard to make these decisions about family members, but you really don't want them to suffer any longer.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go
