Bebop, I re-read your post about your Dad's last day. I could feel the love and respect in your story. I know you probably miss him every day, but I hope the sadness and pain have diminish ed.

I lost my dad and older brother to bladder cancer. I was Dad's caregiver while he was in hospice. I was also helping my brother's wife when he was in hospice. People comment about how hard it must be to watch loved ones slip away, and sure, it was physically exhausting. But I think it is an honor to be able to tend to someone as life wanes. I can't think of a better way to show your love and appreciation to someone you love.
