Ya, BA - what Bets said. I'm glad your weekend with Sarah went well. I tried the long distance thing (1000 miles) a while,back. I thought it was perfect - but I never saw how he really lived - it was like always being on vacation - wait - that's what I do best! Josh & I have always done the distance thing but 100 miles is different than 1000.
As for hospice - do what is best for your dad. As Wii said earlier - many of us have been down that road. My Mom wanted to be in hospice and we tried but couldn't get there in time. She hated the hospital & I've always felt bad that we said our goodbyes there. None of it is easy but I was lucky enough to be there every single day of the 3 months we knew she had terminal cancer. I will never regret that.
