I don't know how to express the sadness.
But John Prine does.......

Similar situation with my 85 year old parents; my father had a stroke and passed on, my mother's broken heart and spirit lost her will to live without dad and she died 6 months later. It deeply hurts when that light begins to fade. Stay strong, it just doesn't get easier. Just love them and tell them so!! often. This song puts it all in perspective for me.

December 7th 1941, Pearl Harbor 77th Anniversary.

For my Dad, who is waiting to go home........

Dad fell at the nursing home and broke his hip, cracked his spine and busted his head pretty bad.
Hip surgery was too much for him.
He is in Hospice care now and could go at any time.

Sorry to hear that Vintage.

So sorry to hear this Vintage, may God protect him.
