Some sad news

After a long and excruciating battle with pulmonary fibrosis and congestive heart disease, Pat's dad died yesterday afternoon in our home.
Some of you may know that Jim came to live with us 3 months ago as he could no longer take care of the normal, everyday things we all take for granted. For the last several weeks, he was under home-based hospice care, and for the last week we had a nurse here 24/7.
Jim was my father-in-law, but more importantly, I was honored to call him my friend. He was the loving father of two, and was preceded in death by the love of his life, Helen, in 1985. He was a decorated WWII veteran and a true hero.
I already miss you, buddy.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Bill after reading what you said about him around Veterans day and talking to you about him, I am crying.
The fact that they both died at home with you and your wife surrounded by those that loved them is a wonderful thing though.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
