My stepfather died this afternoon. Alone, in an ambulance. (Well, with a paramedic, but alone without family.) My mother was on her way back to Belleville but was too late. She was in Ottawa taking care of my sister's kids for the week (because Stacy is in the hospital and Matt has to work), so she left Chuck in the care of his son Joel, who lives

Write a book already... I was wondering If you would read mine...?

I'm so sorry. This is all so much for you and your family.

Wow, Chuck really hung in there. I know it's never easy to let someone go, but I hope there is some small relief that he is no longer suffering.

That is very sad about Amy, too. I couldn't bring myself to post anything about it at the time, but the same thing happened to us last year. We were on the verge of telling our families about my pregnancy when Brian's father succumbed to cancer. He hadn't been doing well, but didn't seemed to be actively declining either. It would have been his first grandchild, too. I suppose it gave Brian's mom something positive to look forward to and think about, but it was no doubt very bittersweet.

My condolences to your family. My thoughts are with all of you.
