CyberHippie Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 On sunday febuary the 8th, my father (59) ended a long battle with Chrones and Heart Disease. My dad had been unable to travel for sometime, and he wanted to go away in the worst way. This winter he finally was able to get travel insurance and got the green light to fly from his doctor. My parents wasted no time getting on a plane and joining friends in Mexico who were renting a condo. My mom called one day last week and told me how much of a fun time they were having. And my dad was so glad to be there. Saturday morning at about 8:30am, the phone woke us up, and we didn't answer it. A short time later it rang again and I knew something must be up. We didn't get to the phone in time but heard my mom on the answering machine saying she had to talk to me. Shit! My father had been admitted to the hospital in Puerto Vallarta, his kidneys had shut down, he had a major blood clot on his lungs, he had a massive infection in his organs etc... Tara and I hopped a plane first thing Sunday morning to Mexico. After many hassles we finally arrived there at 3pm. Unfortunately it wasn't soon enough. My dad had slipped away at 11am. Not being able to say goodbye was real tough for me, but apparently by dad hadn't really been aware of his surroundings for about 36 hours. I know he's in peace now, and isn't fighting any more. Only a couple of you ever met him, but if you feel so inclinded enjoy and Labatt 50 and listen to some Hank Williams in his honour. Thanks for listening... I have to run now, the funeral is on saturday, and there is much to be done. Enjoy everyday, because we only get so many... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckholes Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 "Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though its breaking When there ar clouds in the sky youll get by If you smile through your fears and sorrows Smile and maybe tommarrow You'll see the sun come shinning through If you just smile Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear maybe ever so near thats the time you must keep on trying Smile whats the use of crying You'll find life is still worthwhile If you just smile..."
