Father is now officially on his deathbed. He's on morphine, and no longer conscious. And the doctors told her that he's basically having one heart attack after another. He's not in any pain, because of the morphine drip, but... *sigh*, The doctors say that the cancer has spread to his liver, and there's an infection in his blood and bones. When Toni went to the nursing home to pick up his things, the nurse said that his body just started failing right after I left, and she sees this kind of thing all the time.

*Sigh*

Toni did say that one of the last things he did while conscious was start playing "Patty Cake" with them (She and her S.O., Bob). That's at least a nicer set of last words than: "Oh, shit!"... I think he was channeling his mother, Josephine, really. Toni wanted to stay until he actually passed, but there was a storm coming, and they couldn't get a room in any of the nearby hotels, so they drove back to Allentown. The doctors will call her as soon as he actually dies, and then, she'll call me. And then, we'll have to figure out who to invite to the memorial service, and all...

*Sigh* again.

A bit numb, here. This has been a long, rather sucky, year... I wish I had brothers and sisters, but I don't, so...

And I wish you guys could've met him, but you couldn't've, so...

Blah.

(and thanks for the good wishes. They are felt and appreciated.)
