thank you again everyone so much for all these wonderful comments. I really truly feel better every time I come to this thread and read them. It's a day to day thing and this helps me get through the day.
unfortunately it looks like our miracles have run out and they don't hold out much hope. I'm going to down to be with the rest of my family and will check back in when I can.
April... I haven't been following closely, but I'm sorry for the strain you've been through the last week or so and I'm sorry it's not looking good right now. Hugs to you.
I am devasted to have to report that my dad did not make it and passed away this morning. I'm on a plane to get there. Not in time but my mom said he never regained consciousness. Posting here to make the time on the plane go by since nothing else I can do right now
I'm so sorry, April Snow. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Take comfort with happy memories of your dad.
Thank you again for all the support here - it really helped a lot. Things are still tough and some very hard hurdles to get past and decisions to be made, but we are home now and that helps. It also helps that my mom lives just a few minutes away, so it makes it easier to be there for her and what she needs.
And while I did have a little bit of a blip yesterday (and it was fairly minor), I've continued to stick with my eating plan. I guess in a sense, I feel like I'm dedicating this weight loss to my dad, because getting healthier and being fit and active and hopefully living a long and healthy life feels like the right way to honor a life that was much too short.
