I also lost my Mother to congestive heart failure in 2005, after just having lost my Dad 68 days earlier, and my older sister in 1983. I feel your pain and am saying a prayer for you today. If you can, please go see him again, you will not regret it........
I also like to think that my folks are always looking down at me too, wondering what the heck I am doing!

This is a common thing on another website I frequent. I have gotten quite close to guys over there, and this is the way we do it, we learn about each other. If this touches you, please add a little note, prayer, whatever at the end.
My favorite Uncle, who has been in a nursing home for the last 15 years went into palativa care a couple days ago. He has congestive heart failure, they have given him 48 hours- 2 weeks.
I always made it a point to drive the 2000 km a couple times every year to go see him. Now, my Aunt says it is best to remember him the way he was in July when I saw him last, he is on oxygen and unable to talk any amount.
In a way, it is a blessing for him, for his family. Imagine being bed-ridden for 15 years, unable to walk because of strokes, polio, and heart attacks. This man has suffered far too many years. He has said many times when I leave, that I likely wont see him again, he always thought the world was close to an end for him. This time it appears he was right.
As I was coming home tonight, I saw beautiful white clouds against a blue sky. I would like to think that Uncle Leo is looking at the same clouds, thinking of me. I lost My Dad 13 years ago, my Mom last December, and my only Sister in February of this year. If they all end up together, and can laugh at me stumbling my way through life, just the thought makes me happy.
I would like to ask everyone here to give a little prayer for my Uncle Leo and his family. I am going to miss him.

Lost my favorite Aunt two years ago. Got a chance to see her just before her passing and even though she was in really bad shape and really couldn't communicate, she knew we were there. I still remember her as she was in her good years, not as she was the last time we saw her and I am so glad we did get to see her one last time.
Here is hoping YOUR prayers are answered.

Having lost my father four years ago after a 12 year sentence with Alzheimers the last 7 years of which he spen in a nursing home I know the strain having a loved one go thru a long drawn out illness is on the family and in this case since your uncle had his mental faculties he knew as well. As others have said he is in a better place with your parents and sister.
