A Couple of Remembances

Monday night Jason and Lauren stood watch over Dad for a few hours. Lauren said it was so hard to stay awake, the lights were low, the oxygen machine was working quietly in the background, and Dad sounded like a Zen fountain gugling away while he slept.
Jason watched the Bengals game with Dad on Sunday, and Dad knew that Navy beat Army on Saturday.
When I wouldn't let Dad out of bed Sunday morning, Dad called out for JR to help him, as he had all day Saturday.
I read to Dad from his Advent book each day, and Friday we prayed the rosary together, well I prayed, he listened.
Carolyn kept trying to think of something that might tempt Dad to eat. His final meal was vanilla pudding, which he really enjoyed.
Carolyn and Stan took such good care of Dad.
