    Hi Lushes.

    As many of you know I have been spending time at my folks house while my dad was on hospice. It was sometime during the early morning of March 23rd, that he died in his sleep. My wife and I had been helping mom out, staying every other day, sleeping on the floor on a cot and air mattress next to him for two and a half months (alternating days with my brother). It has been a long exhausting process but I am comforted by the notion that we gave him all the comforts of home. Hospice provided excellent care and the medicines to keep him pain free.

    Now begins the process of working with the funeral home, getting death certificates, contacting banks, credit cards and all the zillions of things needed to tie things up.

    We are tired but at peace.

    Oh Gary :'( I wish I could give you a hug. You've been an amazing son.
    Since this is the lushes thread, it's only appropriate we all have a toast in honor of you and your dad tonight. :drinker:

    Dad's funeral was yesterday. Looking forward to an emotional recharge. Lots of little things to do, but the emotional heavy lifting is done. <3
