Labor Day is now my least favorite day....ever

Well it is official as of 2:40 this morning, Labor Day is my least favorite holiday.

My dad suddenly lost his battle with lung cancer.

He has been doing AMAZING...and then yesterday...POOF.

He was having a hard time breathing yesterday, we just thought it was another bout of pnenomia.  But his lung had popped and filled with blood.  They intubated him and once me and Brian got to the hospital they told us that he would never come off the ventilator.  His O2 level was 55% with 100% oxygen.  90 is at least we should be.  So it sucked, we decieded to take him off the vent.  He breathed on his own for awhile and when my cousin came into the room he took his last breath. 

This really sucks.....that is the all the emotion I can come up with right now.  We haven't told Veronica yet, which is REALLY gonna suck, since they were best friends.

Sorry for the downer on the holiday weekend.

Love-----> Marie

Marie..I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. My Dad passed away the day before the 4th of July several years back. That was always his favorite holiday. Now to watch the fireworks, always makes me cry for him, but I know he's up there watchin' them too.

Marie:
I just want to let you know that if you need someone to talk to please let me know. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and I can feel your pain. Your story is so close to what I went through with my Mom. She didn't have lung cancer, but her lungs were very weak. Just know that if I can do anything to help please let me know. You can email me at myfoxfamily2@yahoo.com any time.

Peace to you and your family, Jana<3

Thank you everyone for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. This all still doesn't seem real. It seems like he is just gone on a fishing trip or golf outing. I am going to get Veronica from Brian's sister's house. Wish us luck...this probably won't go well.

Well we told Veronica and it went as well as could be expected. We all cried and huged. I told her that pa pa is now her shadow and her special angel. She found one of her stuffed animals and she said she is going to give it to pa pa to keep forever. So here we go one day at a time. It is all we can do.

Marie, I am soooo sorry for you loosing your dad I know how it does feel I lost my dad a year ago and I stood next to his bed and watched him take his last breath and even though that will always to be with me it's the good and bad that I will always cherish, tomorrow is his birthday. So if you need to talk email me at tshirley@charter.net it does get easier with time but it's a slow process and I wish yu lots of luck and again if you need anything don't hesitate to ask, even though we haven't met just knowing that someone as experienced the same loss it makes it easier.

your in my thoguhts,
Maria

When my Grandma died last summer (we were very close), my daughter (she was 7 at the time) drew a picture of a table filled with food and said it reminded her of Thanksgiving at Grandma's. We hung the picture next to the casket at the funeral home and then placed it in with Grandma. It made Christina feel better to know something that she made is with Grandma.
I hope things get easier with Veronica. It is hard enough to deal with your own feelings of loss, but to have to comfort a child makes it even harder. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. As someone who has lost their father, I know what you're going through. All I can say is that you will always miss him, but the pain will lessen as time goes by. May God give you comfort.
