What a journey of life for my dad. Best dad, husband, grandpa in the world. I miss him but have countless memories of good times. I was glad to be there during his finish on earth and fulfill his desire to finish life somewhere comfortable. He told me a few years ago he hoped he would never end up in a nursing home when it came time to die. We actually had some good times during the past few months. Mom, Gayle and I provided anything he wanted for meals and drinks. His favorite breakfast became red eggs, toast and cowboy coffee. Red eggs were scrambled eggs smothered with ketchup. He loved the weekly special, spaghetti on Wednesdays. And Donuts on Saturday morning. His new favorite BBQ sauce was Bone Daddy's BBQ sauce. He had to give up Chardonay but was able to swallow White Zin which worked. Toward the end he couldn't keep track of the days but he was able to associate the weekly special with Wednesday, and Donuts with Saturdays. Bittersweet now. Miss him here with me, but glad he's enjoying life in Heaven with the Savior.
