My dear father died from a massive brain aneurysm in 1995 and I still miss him so. I'm sorry for what you are going through, but at least there is hope. Is there a possibility that you could learn a little Spanish--possibly a few quotes at first? It's one of the easiest languages to learn and you can even go to a website for free to learn phrases in Spanish (as well as other languages) called "babelfish" (It used to be called "Alta Vista". Maybe it would be a pleasant surprise for him if you could speak a little Spanish to him. Good luck.

Via con Dios!
