Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm sorry for the loss of your Annie. I see my David in the projects he completed in our home. I talk to him every day and ask his advice on how to handle issues that I need to deal with. Part of me feels that the tears will never stop.
So sorry for the loss of your father. I was drawn to your first post and am sad for you that he suffered and went so fast. You can take peace in that you were there for him at the end, and that you listened and loved. I hope your family heals with each other's support.

Yes, people know when the end is near. I have worked with the terminally ill the past 28 years and we always listen to the person, they know. Now that I'm terminal myself, I understand those feelings.
