Life

I think the hardest thing I had to do was say goodbye to Dad..On Wednesday, I got a call from Claire, my sister, saying that the nurses couldn't get a pulse and they couldn't get a blood pressure reading either. Claire told me to come over but not to rush. So I went to my parents and sat with my father for a while...My oldest sister, Rachel needed to get out so she asked me to go with her to get Dad's carrots at the field. Meanwhile, Denise had arrived and she spoke to me and asked me if I said goodbye to Dad. I said no, was I supposed to? She directed me to his bed and said you better say bye..Well I sat down and told him again that my ex was no longer in my life and he didn't have to worry any more about that. I told him he had to go. I said "Dad you gotta go you will be in a better place it will be ok Steven,Andrew, and Ben will take care of me and Rachel,Claire,Denise and I will watch out for one another and that we will all make sure that Mom is OK" Then I told him again "You better go it will be OK" After about ten minutes, Rachel said ok Viv lets go...So we headed to the field where Dad had some carrots...On the way I picked up my check from work. So we continued to the field and Claire's Husband called My cell and asked where we were going and Rach said to get carrots...There was a discussion that I didn't hear all of so I told Rachel that we would stop by before we went to the field. When we got there we were told that Dad had died. Paul quipped that Dad got to the carrots before we did...Dad died within an hour of my saying goodbye....
