RR - Thinking very much of you, your mom and dad, your family. I hope that her final days are peaceful and as pain free as possible. So glad you had the week together. I hope you and your dad can spend quality time together remembering the good times, the better times and share some memories. |

Many hugs from another TOCer. I have lost both of my parents and no matter how close you live or how far away, it is a tough time. There is little we can do for them in end stages, except as others have said so beautifully here you can be there for your Dad. Somethimes I think that is what the core of family is about, caring and loving for each other in the worst of times. I had one of those flights when my mom was dying, trying to get there in time...I don't envy you that. Loved what your daughter said FG, beautiful! RR they are always with us... |

RR, so sorry to hear of your mom. From your posts, I knew she was gravely ill, and that your time in the States was bittersweet. We are thinking of you, safe travels, take good care of your dad, and let others take good care of you.

RR, I struggle with how to respond to this news. Been in your situation about 2 years ago with my grandfather. His passing was bitter sweet. To be pain free and to no longer be suffering or to keep him here for my own selfish reasons. It was tough to watch the once powerful man reduced to a rack of bones. I am not sure what more to say than enjoy the moment. Grandpa imparted some great words of wisdom in the last few days. His comment of your family is all you will have someday that matters woke me up. I have tried to be to more of the kids activities since his death. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. LF |

Sending lots of prayers and hugs to you and your family, RR. Cancer SUCKS. I just lost my dad's aunt on Sunday night to a 7 year battle with colon cancer. She was one of the sweetest, most charasmatic people on the planet, not a mean bone in her body. Her daughter (one of 8 kids!) has been doing fundraisers for cancer research and was training for the Boston marathon for months. She ran on Monday, and just knowing she still ran for her mom gives me goosebumps. What an emotional finish line that must have been... I admire her strength so much. Please know you are not alone, we are all here for you.

RR -- All my thoughts and wishes are with you and your family during this hardest of times. I lost my dad to Alzheimer's in '94, and was so full of mixed emotions when he passed. Relieved for him that he was released from the torment of that wretched disease, but so sad and angry that he was taken from us far too soon -- before he could enjoy retirement with my mother, watch my sister's daughter grow up, meet the future Mr. Delia, or give us his wise counsel and/or the swift kick in the @ss that each of us has needed from time to time. But as others already have said much more eloquently, our parents never really leave us. My dad never is far from my thoughts and even after all these years I still feel his presence. I'm wishing a safe and hassle-free trip home for you, speedy and peaceful passage for you mom, and sending my deepest sympathy to your family.

My thoughts are with you RR! With Mother's recent death I totally understand your emotions. Daddy needs lots of comfort and attention so I am sure your Father will too! At least they had time to say goodbye. Have a safe trip and take care of yourself |
