Hello gentlemen,�
I am taking my turn tonight to spend with my Dad at the hospice facility.� He is getting very weak now and his passing will be a blessing as it is getting harder for the nurses to keep him comfortable.� They believe that the cancer is probably spreading into his lower spine by the way he is responding.� He can no longer see, swallow or speak.� He last ate on Friday and drank any water on Saturday.� All I can do now is talk to him and pray with him now, It seems to calm him.� Thanks again for all your prayers and support.� You just don't know how comforting it is for me.

NCSU, i hope the best for your familly and you.
I lost my grandfather (yes, not my father, so certainly more easily) 4 years ago from a general cancer. The last three days he suffered so much (even with morphines) that it was a pain for everyone around him; and he usually said that he would be soon be "free" of this pain; and of course everyone understood and had hard time listenning this, but knowing that this was true. At one point, when pain is too much, there is only one way to be free. This is hard to stand, to ear, or to admit, but it seems true.
Then , there is the sadness of the disapearing, wich must be overcome; but after a while, you will have the good memories.
I give you all my wishes in this challange.

Edit : damned, it is so hard to express a idea on such a topic in another language; it is not easy to explain in my main language, but having to translate, it seems so ankward !

I wish I had some words to help you Andy. Just be there for your dad, let him know he's loved and cared for. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Well thank you Dixie for watching over us all ! We appreciate it.

You'll make me blush...

Well, mostly I watch over the engines on 'my' aircraft. When I've got time I like to drop in and check on you guys, even the foreigners amongst you

Maybe one day I'll be able to post some photos of some of the places I've been, but with security in mind it's a total no-no at the moment. I'm also pretty sure it's not a good idea to tell you about the interesting things that I sometime see as well, at least until I know they've been officially cleared.

Hi Simon. What is Legoland ? A park for children ?

You've never played with Lego?!!?!

Legoland is a park for children and their Dad

It's Denmark's most famous export, T will tell you that everyone in Denmark is either in the Legomaking business or knows someone who is...

I used to do model railroading. With CP it took me longer to do everything............ track laying, sceenery, kit building. When the kids came along I did not have the time. Now I enjoy it by reading the model magazines and visting tourist railroads and such when time permits. I am happy.

I am sorry Andy. I just said a prayer for you guys. I know how tough this is. We lost my Father-In-Law earlier this year. And in the end we just wanted him to have a peaceful, pain free end.
