It seems that the last few times I’ve posted here I came with issues. Last night I decided to post here with good news and was about to do just that this morning when my sister called and the world stopped.
At 5:30 this morning we lost our dad after a few weeks of him failing. I knew on Friday we were going to lose him. Thank God a hospice nurse was there when my mom saw him pass. At 5:15 this morning he woke mom up when he needed to use the bathroom, smiled at her then closed his eyes.
If life is testing me I wish it would stop. I think I’ve passed with flying colors. I’m thankful that I have this special place to come to; it’s a godsend. Just know that I am ok and thank you for letting me share. 
Ralph, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. Losing our parents is so difficult. Know that your sister and you did everything you could to ease his days. He will always be in your heart.
