  |  She said, "My dad can finally rest." "I gave him the very best death I could. I am more resilient than most because, frankly, I am made of the strongest material - courtesy of my father. I was there holding his hand until the very last breath. I sang him Sinatra. When the CNAs came, they just watched over me as I cleaned his body, combed his hair, and dressed him in a fresh hospital gown - just like he did to me when I was a child. Family came and expressed their love, one last time... one final goodbye. After death, my husband and I waited til the very end when his body was shrouded and picked up, and then we escorted his body out of the hospice facility and watched then drive my dad away. I will be there to witness his water cremation. A last act. I will be there until the end of his human form. In your honor, Dad. Always." |
