Well - yesterday didn’t go as expected.
Long story short - my Dad passed and what I say is going to be stereotypical in some ways but non the less true.
Guys, if you still have your parents take some time to tell them what they mean to you and express some gratitude. I’d say perhaps consider that for all family members. I can’t tell you how sorely I wish I had the chance to have one more conversation with my Dad in the last two days. I was on great terms with my Dad at the end of his life as well… I just can’t shake that desire.
Second, if you’re in your 30’s have your affairs and wishes documented. My Dad did an exceptional job in some ways and it’s made me aware of things I need to do in others. Just out of consideration save your loved ones this headache as they are trying to come to terms with losing you.
Third, a huge thanks to any / all first responders. I had reason to believe things had gone poorly with my Dad, but LE was quick to get there and get into his home for the wellness check (I live in a different state). I simply can’t give enough gratitude to LE and the officer that found my Dad. What would be a good gift to give this man and the coroner?
I honestly thought about detailing how he passed and what happened… and I may, but I figure just say something and honestly give a few things I’ve seen in this.
Thanks guys - I consider many friends and I’m kind of venting.
