My daddy grew his wings

Hello all,

On Friday 29th November, at 5pm, at home and after another bout of aspiration pneumonia...I watched my dad take his final breath.

After 8 years of this horrendous CBD, he finally is free from it. I am utterly devastated and relieved. No more pain for him, but now I feel like I’m dying inside.

He fought hard and it has been an awful few years watch him fight, choke, cry and plead for help. But he also still smiled and even thought he lost his ability to speak, from time to time a look in his eyes let me know he loved me.

My dad couldn’t speak for the past year and half but 2 days before he passed, he said “I love you Rita” 💔💗

I pray for you all, and I want to thank each and every one of you that has given me advice over the past few years.

Thank you everyone. I thought I’d be prepared but I’m absolutely heartbroken.

I keep breaking down crying as it keeps hitting me, that my beautiful dad has gone and I’m not going to get to hold him again.

I am happy he is at peace now. As he suffered and I could see how unhappy he was.

Thank you all so much for your kind words xxxx

I am so sorry for your loss xx my lovely mother is not far behind.. xx

May god rest him in peace.

Lots of strength to you . His last few words indeed are a miracle and blessing to you.

My Mother lost her speech two years ago and at times I do wish she could say something ... maybe what’s on her mind etc etc ..but in the end this is all gods will I guess .

Stay strong.

Your Dad must have been so proud of you, as you are of him. We all find new depths of courage and hope through this physical and emotional onslaught.

I pray those two things will enable you to press on into your life ahead, remembering the triumphs and not defeats.

Much love, Juliet.x

im very sorry Rita for the loss of your Dad. I can understand your heartbreak, go gentle on yourself. I imagine the devastation you feel as well as his death is everything both of you have been through over the last 8years. It sounds like you were always there for him and can be so proud of. I hope the good memories come back and flood you so you can smile again.

much love

What a wonderful father you have had....and wonderful daughter you are. Please remember that his life story -- and yours--are about so much more than these years of CBD and suffering. My husband is in his 13th year of CBD, and I know a final moment will be coming, but iI understand that it will hurt deeply to say "goodbye,"

Yes finally at peace. My husband survived a littl le over 3 years. Sometimes feel cheated as others had longer but better he went sooner.

Rita,

I am so sorry for your loss. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

My father in law was diagnosed with PSP earlier this year. We suspect he's been dealing with it for the past 2 years and never said anything, and we are all so close, we didn't see it. It seems like now that we know, he is going down hill quickly. He is having difficulty talking, getting up from seated position, falling alot, and seems to very emotional at times. This is a horrible disease for anyone to have to go through. I am still in shock that there is no kind of treatment for this disease.

My heart goes out to you and your family. God Bless.

Hillary
