Unfortunately, and very sadly, we have come to that time.

There is nothing more they can do.

He's too far gone and it's just a matter of time. Could be days, possibly even hours.


He's been giving one hell of a fight and he said he's stubborn enough to fight his hardest until the very end. He's a good man and 63 is way too young. It sucks but reality can really bite sometimes.

I'm at the hospital with him and I'm not leaving his side. Let's hope he finds comfort and peace and hope this all goes as smoothly as it can. I know I joke around a lot and break a lot of balls and say a lot of crazy stuff, but seeking support in those around is of importance to me right now.

It's a tough time for the whole family. To my mother he has been a wonderful husband (37 years on November 23rd) and he's been a great father to us kids. We're very thankful for the influence and guidance he has given to us all.
 
Jason,
My thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your Family.
May your father find his final resting place peacefully..
You know where I am buddie if you need someone to talk to.
 
Jason I hate to hear this. I hope it can go as good as it can be for what it is. You've got my number if you need to call. I'll keep you guys in prayers.
 
Hey J- I'm sorry to hear about your dad. He sounds like a real good guy and yes, 63 is still way too young. Fighting until the end is what a man needs to do and he's fought the good fight.
 
My thoughts are with your father and your family
 
I've been where you are and it's not easy. The times you spent with your father will become cherished. It has been 10 years (will be in 7 days at least) and I still miss him and only have memories of the things we did together, the vehicles we got hopelessly stuck, the stuff we "accidentally" blew up and all the cars we bought and sold. I strive to be the kind of father that my children will miss someday and hope to create memories that they can cherish in their future. Death is a part of life but it sure is hard. Praying that God will give grace to get you through this hard time. Take good care of your mom, she will hurt a lot.
 
Bless you and your family....

Very sorry to hear someone so young in this position. I don't know you or your dad but just from your post can hear the respect and admiration he has instilled in you. I would ask that you take all those qualities you admire so much and pass them on like he gave them to you. This is really his living legacy to you. Remember him with a smile for he gave it to you .Burn his memories into your heart and he will be with you always. My prayers along with your AS brothers are with you.
 
Jason, you're a good friend, I'm here for you buddy.

10 years ago I went through the same thing, it sucks, it sucks alot.
But you have your family, and friends to help you through it all.

I hope for the best outcome for your dad, mom, Keith, Todd, Kim and yourself.

My thoughts are with you and I hope things can be as peaceful as possible. Although I am 31 my father is still just as much a father too me as he was when I was a child, and I cant even imagine what it would be like to be where you are now. I hope the little time you have left is as pleasant as it can be.
