I am in Vegas. I just bought my plane ticket to Phoenix for this Friday to make a mad-dash to to say good-bye to my father. He started declining Sunday and I made the decision Tuesday night to call hospice. Hopefully I will arrive in time to say good-bye. It's ok if I don't. I've said everything I need to say to my Dad. But I'd like to hold his hand one more time if I can.
The other part that really sucks about this is that Tuesday when all of this came down, I snuck away to my hotel room, picked up the phone and automatically dialed Bonus Mom, because that's who I call when life gets too hard and icky for me. Hopefully she is ready to greet Dad at Heaven's door.
