My dad passed this afternoon

Post by Leigh Ann Anderson »

Hi all, I'm a bit of a mess right now, but wanted to ask the Sim family to keep an eye out in case I do something uber dumb in the next few weeks. My father passed away quietly this afternoon. He has been ill and was in the hospital. The original prognosis was pretty dire, especially for an 86 year old in poor health, but then the concerns seemed to be dismissed (the original diagnosis was perforated bowel and bladder fistula, which would require surgical repair). After a few more tests and days in the hospital, the diagnosis was re-evaluated to lesser concerns and the perforation either self repaired or was originally misdiagnosed. He was actually set to be released yesterday, but the assisted living facility where he lives does not allow residents to return from extended hospital stays on the weekend and so I was set to pick him up yesterday.

So, tonight I would ask you to hug your loved ones or give them a call.

I am so very sorry, Leigh Ann. I lost my Dad in April 0f 2020 at the age of 90, even though we knew it was coming, it is still very hard to let go. Hugs and prayers to you and your family. Please let me know, SIM-wise, if I can do anything to help you.

Leigh Ann, my deepest condolences for you, your family and all those who knew your dad.

And you are right...always tell those you love that you do love them, because there may come a time, when will be unable to do so. Both of my parents died of cancer at the age of 56, my dad in 1994 and my mom in 1997...my siblings and I, since that time have been very aware letting each other know that we have each other in our thoughts and we say "I love you" more often than not, rather than saying goodbye at the end of phone calls, or when leaving each other's house...and the 'luv yous' have never become hollow in meaning either.
