I got the call I dreaded last night.

Well, I am going home on Thursday because my Dad has really deteriorated health wise.  The Dr. told the family that everyone should come and say their goodbyes, and last night my Dad signed a DNR order and we were told he could pass away in his sleep or he could have another violent stroke. 

I talked to my Dad last night and it was a bit difficult understanding him because the last stoke left him paralyzed on his left side, including  his face.  I haven't seen him in about a year and from what my Mom relays to me, NO ONE in my family is happy about my move to the UK and I am going to be told about it.   Oh joy it can't get much better can it?

I'm really sorry to hear that. *hugs*

I am sorry that you are going through this difficult time. Bear in mind that grief can make people say things in a way that they normally wouldn't when you are getting negative comments from your family members about your move. Take care of yourself.

So sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts are with you.

I'm sorry to hear this Zeusy. Big hugs!

I know what you are going through.  Many, many hugs, hon. 

So sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself.

So sorry Zeusy.  Big hugs.

Big hugs, hon.    I saw your post in the "last thing I bought online" thread and thought this might be the case.  Safe travels, and know that we're thinking about you.

so sorry to hear this. i wish you & your dad peace.

don't let anyone guilt-trip you over your choices! (moms are particularly good at this)

I am having such a time finding a reasonable flight home...even though Mom is paying I don't want to break her bank....

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the support.  I will try and keep everyone updated as things happen...what a crap 12 months, who knew Roy and I would lose a parent each.

Big hugs.  You have my numbers so use them if need be.

(((((hugs))))) I'm so sorry this is happening. My thoughts are with you. Don't let your family make you feel bad, you have every right to live the life you want.

I'm so sorry.  Hugs.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Hopefully you'll be able to make peace with your father and receive some support from your family. Have a safe trip.
