Flo Voy,
Your words bring back such aching memories...and MY heart goes out to YOU. There just aren't words eloquent enough to ease the anguish of watching a beloved father slipping away from us. It still brings tears to my eyes and sobs to my throat to remember watching my Dad, and then my Mom, go.

It's clear how profoundly you love your father. I can feel your anguish in your post. Just know that you're NOT alone. If it helps at all, know that we all will be here for you as you go through this. Come here and let us nurture you through this. Although I can't be on-site all the time, and will be gone much of October, I promise I will be "with you" in prayer and heartfelt thoughts. And I know other women here have gone through the same thing and will also stand by you throughout this painful time.

I still miss my parents terribly, so with every thought of them, I will add many more thoughts for you.
