    Credit repair is obviously the furthest thing from my mind right now, but I wanted to let you all know why I'm not posting. Daddy was taked to the ER Sunday morning and admitted to the hospital because of a stomach virus and subsequent aspiration pneumonia. The ER doctor didn't even think he would survive long enough to make it to a room, but he is still hanging on, although by a thread. The family all said their good-byes last night and it is for the best that it be this way. He has Parkinson's Disease and has been basically bedfast and unable to do anything at all for himself for about 8 years now. He can no longer even talk so communication is nearly impossible. He will be much better off.

    I am home to get some much needed rest before going back to the hospital. I'll be back on CreditNet later.

    I am SO sorry for what you're going through. I had a similar experience with my father, and got through it by focusing on the fact that he was no longer suffering. The next few days will be the hardest. I'll be thinking of you and your family. God Bless!

    I just want to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My Mother passed away 2 years ago. It is hard to give them up but they have a better place to go with no problems. The Lord always need new Angels.

    Bumble Bee, I don't know what to say, but I have to say something. I was just sitting here thinking about my mother. A year ago today she had a very bad stroke and "survived" for a week. She finally slipped away and, as in your case, it was the right thing to happen.

    Last Friday a dear friend of mine who suffered from several mental illnesses died. I'm speaking at a service for him this evening. It feels like the very air is heavy today.

    I found with my mother, during the week she was in the hospital it helped me to take care of my children. They're all adults, but it's surprising how fast they become children again when something like this happens. Trying to lighten their load and thinking my purpose here was for them, helped me.

    For my friend tonight, I'll try to work on a paraphrase of what General Patton said, "I shouldn't waste my time grieving the loss of Jim, I should spend the time thanking God I knew him."

    I wish you and your family well and hope you derive some comfort in accepting God's will for you and your father. God bless you, and him.

    God bless you. It is hard to give up someone you love, but when you see the quality of life they lead, or the lack of, you know that it is time to say good bye.

    My Grandmother passed away about 2 months ago, and she too was practically bed ridden, couldn't really communicate, was confused easily and basically very sick. Her passing was a blessing for her. She was miserable. She always said that she would never want to continue on with life in such a way. I thank God for finally taking her into his almighty arms. I loved her so much and wanted only the best for her.

    I'm sure that you have wonderful memories of your father. Cherish them and hold them close to your heart.

    God bless you and your family.

    Bumble,

    I am so sorry to hear about your father. I went through the same thing a few years ago with my grandfather.

    Even though I know what your going through, and I do truly feel your pain. You will have peace that passes all understanding.

    It was truly a blessing to spend the last day with my grandfather, telling him how much I Love him and how much I will miss him. The thing is, I was so blessed be there when he took his last breath. I can't explain it, but it gave me such peace, just to be with him holding his hand.

    I cannot put it into words, its something that one has to experience. I know for a fact that an angel was there to take my grandfather into the "fathers" arms. THAT is what gave me PEACE.

    God Bless you, and may he keep you and sustain you!
