Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Cathi, I'm so sorry to hear this news. He has surely battled and you have certainly been there for him. Please know I'll be lifting all of you in prayer. Be smart while you're driving. Maybe you have an inspirational tape or station you can listen to on the way that will give you peace and calm. I hope so. You are wise to go. Live in the moment while you are with him and affirm his life while you sit with him. Bless you. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Someone gave me a Cristy Lane, songs of Passion compact disc. I listened to it on the way to see my friend yesterday. What a help. Prayers and blessings Cathi! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Wisdom&Life Member Registered: 12/14/04 Posts: 724 Loc: Chesapeake, VA	Lola, thank you so much. Dotsie and Jabber, one thing I have learned to do was utilize the time I spend on my trips. Interesting enough, I love to drive and travel, although this wasn't what I had in mind, but I work hard to try to look at obstacles as opportunities. I love to listen to talk radio and I have a streamlink membership with one of my favorite shows I can download and listen to when I can. I listened to many inspirational audio books. I am so glad for these resources. Anyway, I am still on stand by and my bags are on a permanent pack and ready to go. Love and Blessings, Cathi _________________________ Proud member of National Association Of Baby Boomer Women! www.nabbw.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I know how difficult a time like this can be. I recall when my adoptive dad was in ICU. A day or two before he died, I looked into his face, and as sick as he was, I saw love in his smile. Dad's are special people. Thoughts and prayers are with you! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

I hope that however much time he has left, he is as pain-free as possible. Whatever happens, your love is a blessing to him and those around you. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	My prayers go out to you and your dad. Its so awful that when we become old we are not allowed the dignity to just close out eyes and go for a peaceful, permanent sleep, no muss, no fuss, no bother... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

dancer9 Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 2411 Loc: Arizona	I'm sorry, Cathi! It's so hard when it's a parent, isn't it? I am hoping and keeping you in my thoughts as well as thinking of his soul and hoping he is and will stay at peace throughout his process. I'm glad he is letting the medicine help him with the pain and to make things bearable. Remember that however you feel is fine and to give yourself room to care for yourself and to think, feel and comfort yourself. Your Dad would want that for you. I'm also sorry you must stay in a permanent state of "wait," at this time, not knowing when you will have to travel. Stay strong but stay you. I know you have many who love you and are there for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts, Dancer _________________________ http://www.annalisanews.com/ "Question your privilege"

Edelweiss3 Registered: 11/19/08 Posts: 1758 Loc: American living in Germany	Cathi, I remember when my Dad was terribly ill. I was at rock bottom at the time. I think it is so devastating to see a father turn weak and dependent, a person who represented strength and love, and a role model as well. I can imagine, for many of us, our fathers have filled such a role. But then when my dad peacefully closed his eyes, I felt relieved that this pillar of strength could finally stop struggling, and be at peace and one with God. This is a painful journey, and it is good that you come here and share with us. And as unselfish as you are, you request prayers for your mother. Hopefully a little of that pain is relieved for your whole family. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Cathi. _________________________ As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
