I certainly did, Donna! I did Yoga for half an hour and watched the chicken rotisserie channel to finish my evening. I'm beginning to suspect that those chickens are the same ones they roast every night...I want variety or I'll be forced to switch to the the sunset channel!!! A nice part of the evening was when my D17 went to bed, she came over to me and said "I'm sorry your bd wasn't as good a day as you wanted. Here's something to make you feel better" Whenever we would visit my Dad, before sick and after, he always holds her and says "give me some sweetie, I need more sweetie" and hugs her tightly. So she put her arms around me, hugged me and said "give me some sweety, I need more sweetie" We both started laughing. Today is a new day. I'm taking tomorrow and Monday off work. I think I need a little down time, running around 14 hours a day all week is exhausting. Later Dbers. Btw, thanks for all the birthday greetings. When you feel like crap, they matter.
Just got back from spoon feeding my Dad his dinner...soup, and watching it come right back up. They'll make him comfortable...how the hell does that work! Well, on the bright side Dad's ordered TV for Sunday so he can watch his Jays play ball. At least there's one thing he's got to look forward to. Last night wife took the kids and I out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. My D13 made me a card and inside wrote "I love you more than Root Beer!" What more could a Dad ask for?

What a wonderful thing to say!
Been lurking for a while - needing to update my sitch. I've been following all that you and your Dad have been going through as well as the support shown by the wonderful people here. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family...

Thanks for dropping by Daybreak! Well, it's 9:00 pm on a Saturday night and my kids are still busy cleaning my apartment. It was part of their birthday gift to me and they appear to be taking it very seriously!
I went to see Dad tonight with my girls. He doesn't have much time left, this may be the last visit the girls (or I) have with him. The doctor says they're not transferring him to the Palliative Care hospital because "by the time the paper work gets done he'll be gone". He could go any time. I'm glad my girls got to see their grandpa for most likely the last time tonight. They cried all the way home. Before I left I held him and told him he was my hero and would always be my hero. It's been a long road for him. I hope he finds peace soon. Luv U Dad.
There aren't many guys I know that wouldn't be so honest about everything you have been going through and thinking, You are my hero wii. Big hugs to all of your family.
