Mom called this morning and told me to come over if I was going to....It was the end. She suggested I get a babysitter, but I was out of luck and besides, I knew if Dad were coherent at all, he'd want to see them...especially Abbey...it was a hard day and I heard the hospice nurse say "it was the beginning of the end". I'll just say Abbey woke my Dad up when I was sitting beside him and I had a big flower headband on her because the other day he said why didn't I put a bow on her. He reached up and put his hand on her and smiled and said You are so beautiful! as she drooled all over him.
And I thanked him for several things, among those true unconditional love.
ps Abbey is teething...on Friday it was my Dad who discovered the little bump in her mouth ...that he noticed this so early tells me how much his time with her has meant to him

He seems to be very aware of who is around him. I know it has been important for him to stay focused as long as he can. I'm thinking about you, him, the others.
