I'm so sorry for your loss . How wonderful for your father to have

his family with him in his last days though. I'm not good with knowing what

to say, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

hard times / cross post (sorry)

hello friends,

I just wanted to let you all know that my Daddy passed away yesterday at

4:30. I got the call to be at the hospital on Sunday after returning from CA

on Saturday and sit vigil with him in his last days.

He's been terminal a long time but I think even this was a surprise to him

so it took some adjustment and time to let it go for us all. My family was

with me, my mom, my oldest step-brother from CA flew in and helped me a

great deal the last day (24 hour period) -- we went Hospice a couple of days

before he passed away but were unable to transport him home. He was very

peaceful though in the very end.

There were huge ways I was able to help and be there and " do " things that

I couldn't have done without this surgery (in my old body size) -- My

husband was dear to take care of our 5 year old and still managed to bring

me my protein and vitamins and all the 'nutritional' stuff so I could keep

up my strength... and just knowing some yoga stretching in those four walls

was also a great deal of help in " moving " myself around and remembering to

take care of me so I could " be there " to take care of him and my mom.

For those things and so many others I am so grateful. I couldn't have done

this in my pre-surgery body... not in this way.

I've missed all the conversations and know you all will understand if I

haven't replied to e-mails or participated... Live happens as does death and

this is an amazing journey for us all.

I am sure when I can think clearer there are some thing I wanted to share

to with everyone about going through such a huge life/death event directly /

indirectly / related to this surgery, nutrition while in a crisis situation

and so on but I just can't think right now very well... it will come later I

guess.

Sorry for the cross post to the groups but just needed to do that this one

time. Thanks for understanding.

hugz,
