The Bear is Dying

[daurdabla]

On Saturday morning, I my brother, Steve, called me. He and his wife had been to visit the folks in Florida, and he was somewhat concerned about the Bear's condition. Tired, weak, moving only from one point to another, not much beyond that

Aw honey, I'm sorry. *hugs*

I'm so sorry. He is a wonderful man and the world will be a less bright place when he is gone.

I think you should go now while you can interact with him - have those be your last memories. We don't have many extra pennies right now, but by the end of January will have some if you need. Ask. Really.

*hugs* I never know which is worse - watching a parent decline or losing them suddenly. Both are heart-wrenching. My thoughts are with you, and I shed tears for you (literally - I don't know your father, but I'm crying for you as I write this).

He sounds like an amazing man. You are lucky to have him as a father.

I'm sending you a private email via LJ, because I don't think I have your direct email anymore. Look for it.

You have my deepest sympathies. *hug*

I am watching my parents head down a similar road.
