Well my friend enjoy every minute you can with him I lost my dad and some days I wish he was here to talk to, after they are gone it’s not like they have gone on a trip and they will be back they are gone for good so all time you have with him enjoy to the fullest.

Bob, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. It is hard to lose a parent, especially one as close as your father obviously is to you. Thanks for sharing this.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Bob….......I have not been through anything like that yet….....My heart goes out to you and your Father… and the rest of your family. My prayers are with you all.

Bob,

A DNR doesn’t mean he can’t be treated. I had a heart attack about a month ago and putting stints in was certainly an easy procedure for me. I’m a little amazed at how much of a difference it’s made for me. I feel a lot more energetic and a lot better. Talk to him, take him to the VA where he can get treatment at very reasonable cost and he’ll probably meet some other old marines he can relate to. If the quality of his life can be improved at little or no financial cost I don’t think he’ll object, especially if you let him know you’d like him around for a while longer.

Bob, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I lost my father a few years ago and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him and miss him. The one great thing I can say is that before my father died, I had the chance to sit with him and tell him how much I loved him and that he was my hero. The look in my fathers eyes that day will stay with me forever. Spend all the time you can with him and his woodworking can live on forever through you.

I feel for you and your family and of course your father. I look back and wish I had one more minuet,hour, day with my father. So I know it’s hard but focus on your father and share every second you have left with him.
We all have limited time here on earth this your father knows and he must be ready with his DNR . It’s hardest for us left behind and even harder for someone trained to save others. It’s hard and scary to loose a treasured father. But grieve when he’s gone not while he’s still here .Just give him all the love you got. After all isn’t grieving a selfish thing we keep thinking about what will I do with out them .How can I go on with out them . we have to forget the I and remember him and that he is still here.
forgive my thoughts I know we all handle these things differently.
Peace to you and yours

It’s always very tough to think about losing a loved one, but you’re dad has a loving family and has lived a long useful life. There isn’t much more one could ask for. I think I understand how you are feeling right now, but there isn’t much I can say to alleviate the pain except to wish yourself, your family and your Dad the very best.

-- Mike, American in Norway

It’s rough but you’ll look back on this with a sense of satisfaction, purpose and a knowing that your Dad appreciated it. Hang in there.

Bob…By any chance your Dad wouldn’t have dual citizenship with Canada he could get all his treatments here for free.

Thanks to all, My wife is a nurse and I am an EMT and we have checked all options for him but do to his numerous health problems nothing more can be done but to make him comfortable and that’s what we are doing. To a1Jim I couldn’t agree with you more about grieving and we are cherishing every moment we have. Dad just wants to make it to Sunday night for the NY Football Giants game. That may be the thing that puts him over the edge but what better way to go than watching your favorite team. That’s also how he feels. He has been a fan since they were in the Polo Grounds. Thanks again to all for your support. It may be a while before I can respond again.

Bob, your dad is in our prayers and I have to Ditto A1Jim’s remarks. I lost my dad over 13 years ago and I still wish I had had more time with him. Enjoy what time you can with him. You and the rest of the family are in our prayers too.
