Family has been uptight, and upset lately. Dad has been sliding downhill. VERY angry at being put in a nursing home, and spat venom at the mom every time she came near. Demanding to be taken home. He developed a fever, and stopped eating. A trip to the ER showed a UTI, and it never fully got under control. He lapsed into a deep sleep, and for 2 days hovered on the edge. He let go tonight at 5. The family was angry because we live 2 hours away, and we couldnt simply drop all and zip out the door. We were at medical appointments when the call came, and my car was in the shop, and ...the list goes on.

My DH has left to be with family. I have chosen to stay home and rest till the services are announced. I felt he needed time to be with his mom, and family without worry for the wife.

Thanks for all the support and cheerleading for him thru the last couple of months. its been a struggle, but he is at peace. He was 90, and led a hard life. Maybe peace can finally be obtained.
