Saying goodbye

Dad is slowly passing. He’s unable to breathe himself and his machine has been removed. He was diagnosed around 2 weeks ago and obviously his MSA has been nothing but aggressive and relentless. He’s only 59 😭😭😭😭

They’ve taken his machine off. Due to the nature of the MSA (for him) they’re not ventilating him as he would never come off of it and they won’t be resuscitating him because he’s too weak.
