I know I've said it before, Monica, but you are a wonderful soul.

Hugs and prayers to you.

Well we just came back from the hospital. Things are really bad and the doctors can't give no real answers. He can go on this way for a while or he may not even last the night. They are going to make him a comfortable as possible and just let him go when he is ready. His breathing is very shallow and he is not really responding much anymore. Tim sat by him for a good hour and talked to him. At times it seemed like he knew we were there. He looked as if he wanted to open his eyes but just couldn't. We both went in together but I only stood for 20 minutes or so and left him to be alone with his dad. I was so proud of him for being the better person and I know he feels better about himself too.

I'm a mess and tired, it's been a very long and emotiional day. But it was worth all the effort it took to get Tim to go.

Thank you all for your kind words. This had been a hard time for me and you all have been there. Thanks for the support!!! You all are so wonderful.

I really felt it did. It was really hard seeing David like that. I know if Tim didn't go see him, he would have regreted it sooner or later. He may have not been there for Tim when Tim needed him but he is his father and he would not be here if it wernt for him. And I trully feel that David mistakes made Tim a better man.

Well we got a call around 4:30 this morning and David was really bad and they were pretty much sure that it was time. Tim had already left for work so I got up and went to the hospital but in the 15 to 20 mintues it took me to get dressed, brush my teeth, get in the car and get there,,,,, he had already passed. I called Tim's uncle who was on the way and wated for him to get there to see David. I was going to wait for uncle John to get there and leave. I didn't really want to see David but I am so glad I did. He looked very peacfull. I had that ugly image of him gasping for air and the facale expresstions he had when trying to breath stuck in my head. But after seeing him laying there like he was asleep peacfully I feel much better and know he is at ease and feeling no more pain.

I want to thank you all for your prayers. I really feel they helped in getting Tim to go see his father in the beginning and end. Thank you all for your support!!! You all are just so awesome.

I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. It's wonderful that your husband saw him before he was gone. No matter what their relationship has been, I think he would have regretted it had he not gone to see him. I'm sure that in some way your FIL knew he was there, and I'm sure it meant the world to him.

Wow! I'm so sorry. I just read this thread and it's a tragic story. I hope that your husband can find some closure. Prayers are coming your way.

Thank you all for your kind words. It is so sad how David left this world so alone. I hope that with Tim going to see him, it made it a little easier on him. He had been in hospital for 40 days and it was an up and down battle. I personally think they let him go on longer then he should have. But he is now resting in peace and no longer in pain. Tim went to go see his father and I know David was happy with that. In the long run I know Tim will be happy he was there for is dad in the end. He will never have that ugly lingering feeling of regret. I do have myself a good man with a big heart and is able to put aside any hard feelings to make his father not die feeling that nobody cared. I am so proud of him!!!
