I was sitting on a chair to dads left holding his hand; Janet and John were sitting on mom’s bed to his right. I told Dad that we were all here and that it was ok to go and to tell everybody hi for me when he got there. I kissed his fore head and told him I loved him.
We watch for a minute then I leaned down to see if he was breathing, he gasped for air so hard he scared me and Janet and John laughed at me because I jumped.
I decided to text Scott and Dave to tell them that it looked like Dad was about ready to go. Dave called and Scott texted me at the same time, 8:34.
I told Dave that it looked like Dad just took his last breath, then I watched Dad's pulse as it started to slow down. Then Scott text me if he should come right now, then his heart stopped at 8:35 p.m. while Dave was still on the phone with me.
After we hung up I called Scott to let him know he had passed just when he texted me. It took about a half hour before it really hit me, Dad was gone.
