My Father and I spent a lot of time together in person and over the phone when he was dying from cancer.

He had all the DNRs, EOL stuff done and me as his Executor.

We made some hard decisions in the sense that he knew what he wanted, never wavered and was ready to exit with dignity...I was squeamish but resolute to honor his wishes.

Included in those wishes were some very frank discussions he wanted me to have with my sisters on his passing...the sisters were mentioned in his Will but given nothing.

I know.

I still have the email he sent outlining his rationale. He was right, unfortunately.

His funeral, at West Point was attended my my family, my Step mother and his best friend from his time at West Point, they were not invited and I told them why, which I won't share.

BTW, all I wanted was his Colt Light Weight Commander he bought before he went to Korea and later Vietnam.

I shot it with my son this weekend.

Best to all. Thread of my time here.
