Dad died peacefully two weeks ago. I thought I was done mourning, but now I can't seem to work well at work and feel like I don't know where to start life again. I spent days and months making lifts, ramps, and gadgets so that my dad could keep living life. And now it's over. I was prepared for this, I knew it was coming, but now that it's here there's still alot of adjusting to do.
I sometimes think that Dad could have made it longer and that we forced him to die. He was dependent on a bi-pap and did not want to suffer any longer. We took him to the hospital where the doctors weaned him off of the bi-pap. He died 15 minutes after he was off of the bi-pap. I don't know if the morphine and adovan had any effect on making him die faster. I tell myself that Dad's body was no longer able to function and he would have died anyway, but then I just keep going back-and-forth.
I miss him. Everything reminds me of him.
I only hope I can be as good of a father as he was.
I will remember and love you always Dad.
