    Suddenly Dad is too weak to get out of bed. He can barely talk now. He is off of all treatment. Hospice is on board and full time aids. We are so sad but there is a lot of love surrounding us.

    We wish we knew how long. No one knows.

    We wish he could tell us what he is thinking. He either can't. Or won't.

    This is so hard.

    Sending love and light to all. ~Michelle

      My aunt who grew me up had cancer  , couple of last days she was unconscious and did not realise what was going on.

      Suddenly she opened eyes once and said :'' I am afraid of duying ..''

      I said her – it is not death ,it is beginning of new life. That night she passed away.

      I saw her in my dream later – smiling and happy ..

      My heart goes out for you ..

      I am sending you my love  . We never dye , we will live with God forever

      Oh Michelle,  I am so sorry….I truly mean it.  I know i told you this but know exactly what you are going through.  I hope your Dad is comfortable.  He may not be telling you what he thinks because maybe he don't want to worry you and he sounds like a strong man.  Give him the right to speak or not speak…give him the control.  Just let him know you love him and we all will meet up again in a better place.  Like I said before,  grant him his wishes.  If he want s to go to the doctor then do it.  Don't let hospice or the doctors dictate.  The word hospice is scary to us. Let him know that he can change the staus and go to a doctor if he wants or if he wants The man upstairs to take the path.

      I am sorry.
