What an emotional day. Initiated the move for my dad from ICU to hospice because the doctors have concluded that his likelihood of recovery is nil. In this process, the feeding tube is being removed and he will not receive any more transfusions. It is now just a matter of days until he passes peacefully. He remains unresponsive with no indication of awareness of anything around him. My mom and I also made all of the arrangements for his funeral and such, sans the date. I feel good that I can help him pass on with as much dignity and comfort as possible. It is just difficult to know that in the next few days, my dad will be gone. I guess I know that the body that remains functioning as it is, is not my dad. My dad really has been gone since last Wednesday, the day after he held my hand and said to me I love you, pal. Stop struggling. It is okay for you to go, dad. I will miss you but I will figure out how to carry on. I love you too, pal.
