No Photo but my Dad died today

Liveevil, Greg, Smitty, CG, 4406 Thank you all too.

Now I am undertaking the logistics of the aftermath. I am blessed to have experienced minimal sorrow, but thanks instead for the merciful way he passed with transitioning from essentially normal fully fed breakfast and lunch, talks with the medical staff, watching TV and then he was gone. No Suffering.

Mark, my dad had a similar no suffering end. He and one of my sisters went out to dinner, then they went back to his house. He went into the bathroom and when he came out he had a massive heart attack and died in his own home. Not so great for my sister but dad passed peacefully in his own home. He had asked me long ago that if he ever had to be hooked up to a a machine to live would I pull the plug for him. Glad it never came to that.
 
Thanks Dono and Eclectic.

I did mom's estate and just got it finalized last month. I learned a lot.

Now for round 2, which I now begin exactly 1.5 years after Mom's passing.
Today I have been on the phone all day notifying all the various entities that either paid money to Dad or withdraws money from him.

Thanks Bro. Definitely gonna be transformational. Lost mom Oct 30, '22, Now Dad, April 27, '24 a few weeks past his 87th.

There has been quite an unexpected void of any deep sadness. To explain it, might take some soul searching and life altering experiences I could never know as long as our dad lived. Generational curses ya know what I mean.
 
On Friday before we lost Dad, his DR called me at 5 am. They said his heart sped up and BP dropped. he wanted to know if he could shock him.

I said ok and he said he could get normal heart back again or possibly die. He rebounded on meds w/o shocking. Later that night after we finished visiting him was a 4 band concert with Staind headlining, Here is their set. As It's Been Awhile played, the lyrics were speaking from me to Dad. By 12:40 pm the next day he was gone.

For all his warts, I did my best to love and provide the care needed for my dad.
After a short couple days in the hospital, my dad's heart stopped beating suddenly today and he passed at 12:40 PM.

The next few weeks/ half a year will be interesting as I finalized my mom's estate about a month ago, and now it will be dad's turn.
