My Dad has passed - Cancer: Lung Message Board

mishymay3 · 10-05-2007, 12:54 PM

I wanted to let you all know that my dad passed yesterday at 3:00pm. I missed it by an hour. I did see him on Tuesday and held his hand, fed him crushed ice, and told him I loved him. But, the last time I saw him was Wednesday night. He was so ill and would not wake up and I am so thankful that he isn't suffering anymore, but I miss him terribly. 55 years old, entirely too young. His grandchildren will never know how funny and goofy he was. He always had a smile on his face.

Thank you all for your support since his diagnosis in February. Just to remind you, he was diagnosed with NSCLC 3b in February.

My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you.

Sincerely,
Michelle

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My only advice is to take each day at a time. My dad was only 59 when he passed and many times I have thought the same things you have. The grandchildren will never know the man I knew. It really sucks.

My thoughts, prayers and hugs to you and your family during this difficult time.

Michele, Im so very sorry for the loss of your dad. Hang tough because it will be a slow road for you. Allow yourself to cry as often as you need to. Surround yourself with family and love them! I hope you have a good support system. Take care.
