Connie,

Those are really beautiful pictures.

We never left my late husband's side either - for about year, literally, because it was touch and go for such a long time. You won't regret a moment that you spend with your dad - of course. I remember when Mark, my husband, went into hospice there were always at least three of us, often many more. They let us sleep on cots and reclining chairs. At one point I just crawled into the bed with him so we could hold each other and one of the nurses came and laid a quilt over us. That was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. There were so many rooms of patients without any visitors at all, just people so sick, all by themselves. It made me think what a strange culture we had. So sad. I'm glad your father has you, I can tell by the picture how much you mean to him.
