My father declared a week ago that he was done fighting and decided it was time to get on with dying. This is not, of course, a particularly funny situation. However, he has taken to asking "Am I dead yet?" when he wakes up and then expresses irritation to find that he is, in fact, still alive. All I can think of is Monty Python ( Read more... )

Good luck, and I hope all is well.

Go Litely (sp?) is such a deceptive name. Good at the doctor's. Poop on his head maybe?
