goodbye dad
11 years ago
my father passed away september 4th, 11:55 pm. he fought so hard to stay with us these past five months, and we honestly believed he'd be coming home soon. he was supposed to be transferred from the hospital to a rehab center today, where he'd spent two weeks before coming home. instead we're making funeral arrangements.
my dad didn't die of liver disease or cancer or kidney failure. he died from multiple infections he caught while in the hospital. klebsiella, e coli, pneumonia, to name just a few. the klebsiella was a drug-resistant strain, and in the end, is what claimed his life. the hardest part of all this is that it didn't have to happen at all. he caught the klebsiella from dirty hospital equipment.
it's hard to believe his journey ends here. it's hard to believe he's gone forever. i'm happy he's no longer suffering, but i just wish he'd been able to come home before he died. he left for the hospital on easter sunday and never returned.
i'll always love and miss my dad. he was a difficult man and we never had a very good relationship, but we did connect in a special way. the day before he passed away, he seemed to know what was coming. even though he seemed to be perfectly healthy, he asked my mom to let him go. he also asked her to let me know he loves me. when she told me that, i knew something was wrong. my dad never said 'i love you'.
thank you so much for everything, dad, i'm so proud of you and how hard you fought. thank you for trying. i hope you're happy and pain-free now.

after seeing the way my dad was treated, i hope i never end up in a hospital. some of his nurses were downright negligent.
I am so sorry to hear what happened and I would like to send you my condolences.
Hope your father will rest in peace. Take care.
You have my deepest sympathies.
*hugs you bunches*
You and your family will be in my prayers.
:'(
But I'm happy you can look at one thing, being, he's no longer in pain.
He was given the gift of having a life in the first place, which is what matters.
I hope you'll be able to cope with your loss. Time moves forward.
Don't let this keep you down.. Learn and grow stronger.
Please, take care.. *hugs* :c
the pain is really just indescribable right now, but with time, i'm sure it will hurt a little less. thank you.
you are such a beautiful person and i have no clue what i would do without you. i don't know what's ahead for us. i know nothing will be easy from now on, but as long as i have you, i think i can get through anything.
If Jim is still there in person - which I believe so? - I hope the two of you can bundle together to take this trying time on, too. You have a lot of friends pulling for you, including me.
jim is still here and has been so supportive. everyone has! i don't know what we'd do without he support of family and friends. it's the only thing keeping us afloat.
