It must have been fate, that brought your Father and our Mother together in that hospital room. They were great room mates for over three weeks, and they knew what each other was doing, and if they were in need of help, they would ring for the nurse.Your Dad came in the hospital, with what seemed to be a minor issue, but in the long run was not getting better. Our Mother was worried about him, and noticing that he was , as she would put it, not acting like himself," He sleeps all day, and walks around all night," is what she would say."He can't seem to walk and talk, like he use to"
He would walk by the bed, when he first arrived, and would smile and wave at her, and when he was asked how he was feeling, he would say "pretty good". He was always polite, and smiling, and always watching sports. He definitely had a great appetite.He started fussing and getting restless, and it's like this person that could communicate, was suddenly no longer there. He stopped walking, talking, and eating. He laid there, with the television still on, but not responding.Your family was there all day around the clock, not only looking after your Father and Grandpa, but anything our Mother needed, you were there as well. A kiss from Dennis Jr, made her happy, and a tuck in and helping her in bed from Karen, and the other family members, was much appreciated when we couldn't be there. It was great just to text each other, with what was going on. You were out looking for a nursing home to put him in, because you knew that he wasn't going to be able to go back to his home, and he was doing well until the time he was admitted. It was a shock to see him deteriorate so fast in front of all of our eyes. We all became one family, and we were lucky to have known, and shared the good days we had with him. Then he was moved to the palliative floor, the day that our Mother was discharged, and were told that it wouldn't be long now. It didn't seem like he was suffering, or even in pain, but your hearts were all broken, because it was so fast and sudden. Surely, he felt all of the love, and caring from everyone of you. Your unconditional love, was not only shown for him, but our Mother as well. Now, he will continue his journey,with his wife again, and keep a watch on all of you, as you can here him say, "Don't worry, I'm very good". May God give you all, the strength to carry on, and share all of your wonderful memories. Love always, your other family xoxoxox
