As some of you know, this has been a bad year for LOML & me. More bad news. Last friday we got a phone call concerning the FIL. He has been on dialysis for about a year and a half. He had developed an infection in his foot that would not heal due to circulation problems. He turned 89 last wed and decided he had had enough. Quit dialysis. The call said he had only a few days left at most. Jane and I left for Wisconson sat morning and were abel to spend some time with him sat evening.
Sunday at about 7:00 am he left us to be with his son and his wife who both passed away in the last year. I am so glad that we were abel to see him before he passed away. Thanks for listening and yor all your support.

Hopefully we will be back home next week.

Very sorry to hear of your loss...my thoughts are with you and your wife. Sounds like your FIL did what he felt was best, and it's good you were able to visit with him once more.

While I'm sorry for LOYL and your loss. I can see how your FIL felt the way he did. Why stay around when you know that you are only going to get worse and have a lot of pain. That is not living - only existing. He is in a better place now. Remember the good times.

Dave,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Although I can only imagine how much he will be missed, I'm glad to hear that he was able to end things on his own terms with his family close by.

Dave, I am very sorry for your loss and the rough year your family has been through. Was good for all concerned that you got to visit him before he passed away. I pray God gives you and your family the strength to carry on. Have a safe trip home.

Thanks for all of your support and good wishes. I thiught the worse was over but last monday night Jane's sister Maggy suffered a heart attack. We went to visit her in the hospital twice last week and when we got home to Minnesota last night we found out that Maggy was releaced from the hospital yesterday and was at home. She was the primary care giver for her folks the last two years and the strain was too much. Now that her patents are both gone and she is home we are all hoping for a full recovery. Thanks again to all of you. This sight is a wonderful place and makes me feel like I am with family.
