As you know Dick passed away on July 15th. I just wanted to share this with you in hopes it may bring some comfort to all of you. On th 13th Dick and I were talking in the bedroom. He had his bi-pap on and we were having a normal conversation when out of no where he said "My Mother and Father are here to take care of me. I know they don't live here but they have come to take care of me". Dick's parents died about 30 years ago. I never met them. I asked him if that comforted him and he said it did. The next night we were talking and he said the little brown stuffed bear on our dresser was flirting with him earlier that day. He said there was a light shining on him out of the bear's eye and kept flirting with him. He also said that comforted him. Dick is not a spiritual peson and this conversation was so out of character for him. We both knew he was going to die soon and there is a peacefulness that came with those conversations. I won't tell tell you it was a peaceful death and that is why I tell all of you to take care not to choke or aspirate. We were fortunate that he was revived long enough to say goodbye to his family and was miraculously able to go off the vent and hold his own long enough to say goodey to his last daughter to arrive. We were all able to hold him all night and tell him how much we loved. He had a beautiful service and I know he is at peace now. Dick was 64 years old and diagnosed less than a year ago.
Thanks so much,
