Gather

Lisa V. is so correct on the Hospice issue. If you have not read my posts on my fathers journey, it talks about the great care hospice provided, even is only for less than a week. It allowed my family to gather and be a part.

As you prepare, remember, you are thought about by all care givers at this time. It is emotionally hard as well as an honor to be there to help.

Pop was a tough cookie {I guess it was the generation} and was aware of all of us to the end. Gather the troops and tell him everything you never did and always did. All I can say is your being thought of, and "What Pop said."

God bless
