[recycled sixtie]

If it is any consolation I was not allowed to see my father die in 1967(I was 21 years old and he was 51 ) as my mother did not want me to witness his emaciated cancer ridden body.

Many years later my mother asked me to come over in July of 2014 to visit her(she had a broken hip) and I said I would be over in September. However she died in late July. So I do have regrets in not seeing my parents in their dying days. So I do have respect for you to hang in there and witness your father's death although of course it is giving you much grief. As my neighbor says(he is 75) they are thinning the rows. My dentist says we are orphans now. Hang in there. Be strong.
