My sister just called me. Dad crossed about 2 hours ago. He was rushed to emerg last night, went into a coma about midnight, and that was that. I'm trying to make arrangements to get the dogs sorted and will be flying out later today or first thing tomorrow. I never got a chance to say goodbye. Godspeed, Dad. You're back with mom now...no doubt have a good ol' "discussion" about the years since she left.

Oh Paula I am so sorry!!!
I know you said he didn't have much "will to live" left, but there is no way we're ever ready to lose a loved one.
I'm sorry you were not able to be there... you are a wonderful person, a great daughter, and he was lucky to have you.
Love you.

Oh Paula, I am so sorry.
I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodbye, but it was easier for him this way...not prolonged and miserable. His body was done, and I think he knew that.
have a safe trip, and I will be thinking of you

I am sorry, Paula :(.
I didn't get to say goodbye to my dad either. He died about the same time my plane landed at the KC airport. I think he wanted it that way, and maybe yours would have, too. It still sucks, though.
for your dad.
