My journey is over. My father passed away on March 12. We held hands, said I love you, and just like that. He was gone. I was really expecting to do this for a few years. It was only 9 months. In my mind, he just went back to Florida to live. I haven't started packing up his room. I'm sure when I do, I will have a full range of emotions. I just want to send my appreciation to all of you Caregivers. Even though I wasn't on this site for very long, it helped me so much. I have a wonderful husband and family that helped me also, but nothing like the people on this site. For those of you that are still in the thick of it, I admire everything you do. I can not stress that enough. I pray for strength and peace for all of you.

When you do sit down and go through his room - give yourself time and do it in a moment that you can cry happy tears with all the beautiful memories flooding back like an old movie. 🙏🏼 My sympathy and prayers.
