MY DAD

Just a few short words in remembrance of my Dad. I am at my moms so I have no pictures with me of him but just have to express my love for him and I feel very blessed to have been here with him the last few weeks of his life. It has certainly been a roller coaster ride, starting the 10 of June. When my mom called and told me Dad was in the hospital again I had a very uneasy feeling. She told me he was going in for a procedure (ERCP) to find out why his liver count was up. I felt I needed to be there so I planned to go up for a few days. I arrived in SLC at 2:00 and the my sister called and said they were taking him in early. I headed for the hospital. All went well with the procedure. Later that day they needed to do a cat scan by this time my dad was totally drained of energy, his heart stopped and they administered CPR on him. Not a fun thing to watch my mom and I were in the room at the time. Well from that point on it has been the up and down of a roller coaster. He would have a day that would give us hope that things would be fine and then there would be a few days that we didn't think that he would make it through the night. We brought him home on July 3rd at 3:00 and he past away at 4:00, he knew he was home, that is where he wanted to be and I think at that point he gave up the fight. It was a very peaceful passing, I am so glad that I was here to say my last good bye's to my Dad he is a wonderful man and going to be missed by many friends and most of all many family members. I love you Dad!!!
