Topic: I want to say I am sorry, and explain | |
---|---|
I have been acting a little erratic, but there is a bit of a reason. I was informed today that my father is in icu, and they plan to pull the respirator Monday morning if there is no sign of improvement. he has been in there a week, and no improvement so far. I have not so much as spoken to him in a number of years, but he is still my father, and my emotions are a little out of whack. I have a lot on my mind, and apologize if I offend anyone. This is not a pity thread, but an explanation to those I know may be confused. bear with me please, i haev a lot on my plate right now

Sorry to hear it Rob.
Can you communicate with him? Sounds like there's some unresolved things there. Now is an uncomfortable time but I encourage you to talk with him if you can. My dad died in a car accident many years ago and I never got the chance to discuss or confront him about a multitude of things. |

My dad died in a car accident many years ago and I never got the chance to discuss or confront him about a multitude of things. they have him in a drug induced coma, there is no communication. They will not let the meds wear off, they say he will most likely pass with no pain. The issues will not be resolved in this lifetime apparently |

If not please do.. My dad died the day we got into a bad arguement... It tore me up for years.. we never argued ever... but I realized finally that he knew how much I loved him and I knew how much he loved me.. still we hold ourselves accountable for things that are out of our control.. everyone argues... (((((Rob)))) |

Rob - I agree with Aaronzdad - now is the time if you have anything you want to say to him to express it. Even if he is in a coma, he may be able to hear it and even if he doesn't, it will still give you a chance to "get it off your chest."
My brother died unexpectedly last June (that was dumb, all death is unexpected) but he was younger than me and I guess I thought I had years yet to talk to him about things and discuss issues, but "poof" got a phone call that he was gone and it was too late, there would be no discussions now. If you can't get there physically, you could call the ICU and have the nurse hold the phone up to his ear and talk to him that way, they will do that for you too. Take care. |

You, your father and your family will be in my prayers. I have been there and you never forget but, It gets easier to deal with as time goes by.

U and ur family will be in my thoughts.....*HUGS* |
