Dad & I Ft. Myers Feb 2018

This will be brief. Most of you have heard by now, my dad made his transition Sunday. He had gone into the hospital Thursday evening, and Hospice on Friday evening/Saturday morning. He was living in Ft. Myers, FL and the last time I had a chance to visit him was 2018. The last year or so he has been ill, dealing with different issues.

Once he entered hospice, he was made comfortable because he had been in excruciating pain for quite a while before that, He hadn’t spoken during his couple days in hospice and his time was drawing near.

I booked a flight for Monday morning for 6am, he died just before 2am. I canceled my flight, I was too late.

I had wanted to go see him several times before, especially once he entered hospice. He was a proud man, and didn’t want anyone to see him in his condition. If I had it to do over again, I would’ve gone! Unfortunately, I don’t have that option now.

chances not takedLife is short, take the time to let the people in your world know you care about them, regardless of the circumstance. If your heart says to do something, do it. If you have a burning desire deep inside of you to follow a dream nobody  else agrees with, follow it anyway. Don’t die with the music still in you.

Lastly don’t wait for:

  • the perfect time
  • till you have the money
  • till all your ducks are lined up in a row
  • till the kids are gone
  • till you lose the weight

I could go on, but I think you get the picture. My final thoughts on the subject (3 minute video)
