Pretty tired. Teaching went okay, but I didn't bring much energy. I didn't get up to run before class as we all slept in miraculously. 

I believe I am headed to Maine the end of next week to say goodbye to my Dad. Mom is going to give him a bit more time, but as soon as they pull the antibiotics and the feeding device it's just a matter of dosing him with morphine I think.

Sorry about your dad.

From Tom K on Sat, Sep 30, 2023 at 11:49:35 from 47.201.60.26

Man, that's rough. Sorry.

Good luck with that Jason. Hopefully the time you have with him will be a positive for you. My dad just had a heart attack and died. No opportunity to say goodbye. He called me the night before he died and left a message on my answering machine and I didn't call him back. I've always regretted that.

Praying for your family. I know it has been a journey recently with your dad.

From Jason D on Wed, Oct 04, 2023 at 19:59:49 from 73.161.42.48

Thanks, all.

I am sorry, Rob. It was helpful/good.

Thank you, Jeff. Just one of those situations the really shifted. It will be okay though.

Sorry to hear about your dad, Jason.

From Jason D on Thu, Oct 05, 2023 at 20:46:21 from 73.161.42.48

Thanks, Jon. His 72 birthday is in about a month, but he won't make it that long. My boys' third birthday is a week from tomorrow.
