Life won’t be the same without you here. - - For those wondering; my dad was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer 5 years ago. (He has dealt with chronic pain; pain shooting through his legs, numbness in his feet, cancer running in his nerves making it near impossible to sit or stand for any extended amount of time, etc.) - A month ago, June 30th, he was told he had liver failure and one month to live. The cancer had metastasized to his liver. They said with liver failure, the enzymes the liver releases would make him more and more tired until one day he wouldn’t wake up. He decided to try chemo with the hope that it could give him more time. It was that, or go home on hospice for the remainder of the time he had. - After 3 days of chemo he came home. It was extremely hard on him as he was already feeling the effects of the liver failure. We hoped the chemo could shrink the tumors/cancer in his liver faster than the cancer was growing. We waited a week but the results weren’t as we had hoped. He wasn’t getting better. So we cared for him each day, accepting & realizing his body was shutting down. He slept more & more & his cognitive function lessened each day. The little conversations & moments were everything. ❤️ (from feeding him malt-o-meal, to giving him a daily foot massage, to trying to fit in as many “I love you’s”.) It’s hard to process & understand; life.. death, why some people have to endure so much. :/ The final two days & the last few hours were extremely awful to watch & felt quite inhumane. To see someone you love struggle without being able to aid or help; to just “let the process happen.” It was heart breaking. - He passed Aug 1st at 2:40am, we sat around him, taking in what had just happened. He lay there mouth open.. however we woke a few hrs later to see that had changed to the most peaceful smile on his face. A tender mercy. He seemed to be free, free of all the pain he’s endured. He seemed so happy. - Oh dad, I love you.. You did it, you made it through this life. There’s an abundance of love overflowing from everyone you touched. ❤️」8月3日 2時34分
