I don't post here often, I am an admitted lurker...but for all of you out there, just know that you only get one mother and one father.

Regardless of what your relationship with either of them may be, it can never be replaced and should be cherished.

Avoid having regrets at all cost.

Sorry, lost my dad in April 2013.

Spend as much time with him as you can.

Suck that you had to put him in hospice. Never an easy decision. Prayers for your family.

Prayers sent. I know it's hard, but know that he is receiving EXCELLENT care. I've had a few relatives go into hospice and those people are angels on earth.

Everybody with hospice has been incredible. I do not know how they do it. I am falling apart and they are so strong, supportive and positive. They even apologized for the amount of paperwork I had to do.

When it comes to taking care of the final stages Hospice is a wonderful ministry. Enjoy what time you have left and cherish the life you've shared!

Thanks to the late night crew for the good vibes. I need it more than I can ever express on a message board.

I am a young man I'm my mid 20's. No doubt. Having said that both of my parents are in their mid 60's. They have their fair share of medical issues. So even though my dad calls me everyday to explain everything he does from sun up to that point. I may get aggravated sitting on the phone for an hour. I'm smart enough to know that one day I'll be wishing he could call me up to talk my ear off. You really can never spend enough time. I have met plenty of people who shite on their parents. Whether it be just blatant cursing them out or just taking advantage of them. My mind can't even fathom how this is possible. Stay strong brother
