Hi,
Mike died last night. His son said he died peacefully. I saw him last Saturday, and he asked that I call last Thursday. He didn't want me to come Thursday or Saturday, though; and when I called yesterday, his son told me he's pretty much sleeping now, but it would be fine if I wanted to come by. I declined, saying I didn't want to intrude, that I'd said goodbye several times already and he said, "Are you sure?" I said yea, hung up the phone, cried, then called him back and said I'd changed my mind and asked if it would be OK if I came by today around midday. He said of course. But this morning Mike was gone. I'm so grateful he died peacefully, and that he's no longer suffering. I'm also glad I didn't intrude on what turned out to be his family's last hours with him. But...I wish I could've said that final goodbye. I'd grown to love Mike, and I will not ever forget him. Thanks for your prayers. Sharon
