Where were YOU ?

Ya know how they have those things on TV and in papers about “Where were you this time last year” or whatever? Well, as morbid as it may sound… this time last year I was watching them take my Dad’s breathing tube out in the Liver Treatment ICU of Emory Univ. Hospital to let him die a “peaceful” death. Yep, that’s right. This time last year I was standing beside his bed waiting on him to die. I remember thinking or maybe I was praying that it wouldn’t take long because he could hardly breath as it was. I was scared to leave his side. I didn’t want him to be alone and moreover, *I* wanted to be there when it happened. It was a promise I made to him a long time ago and I meant I was gonna keep it ! Hours went by and they moved us to another room on the floor with instructions to basically leave us alone unless we needed something. Hours went by there too till finally I had them cut off all of his fluids and 02 and knock him slap out with the morphine. I wanted him to just slip off to sleep and pass quietly and w/o pain. It got later and most of the family left. Hour after hour all night long I watched him and waited. And Im sorry but I can’t finish this right now cause I cant see through the tears. I need a nap.

..::>>KIDLETS<<::.. The kids got their progress reports today. ALL of them did wonderful ! Ryan did a GREAT job actually!! I am very proud of him. Now, to get his tude to change some ! LOL Sandi did well too but her teacher seems to think she is only "passing thru" things and that she has the ability to do much better.... Hmm... interesting. I am going to set up a conference with him about that I think. Robbie is finally making better grades in his comper apps class too... despite the teachers rude ass ways to trying to point him out on stuff. Robbie was asked to be a Juniou Decon at our church, he accepted, and I am proud of him. ..::>>UNCLE TROY<<::.. That dumb Dr. started him back on the meds for the Hep C again. Stupid wanker is trying to kill him... I swear he is. *sigh* ..::>>LOWELL<<::.. He is working alot still and adding even more to his plate via our church. I know service to God is important, but I feel as if they are taking advantage of his goodheartedness at times. He is always so tired already, what will these added things do now? *sigh* ..::>>THANKSGIVING<<::.. We will be leaving here on Wednesday of next week to head to Monroe for Turkey Day. Lowell actually got some time off for a change and we get to stay till Friday ! We "could" stay longer, but I want to come home. LOL ..::>>CHRISTMAS<<::.. I finally talked to Mark tonight and it seems we have definate plans now. All of my kidlets will be goingto see their Fathers/family for the Christmas Break from school.
