My husband and I were at Dad's bedside when he passed away. The hospice nurse had told us that hearing is "the last to go." So I talked to Dad - telling him how much he was loved and what a good father he was. I wanted him to hear my voice so he would know I was there.

I thought that being with him when he passed away would be hard - but it wasn't. It was peaceful and comforting. I'm so glad we were there with him.

Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes.
