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.

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.
