always thought I'd lose it when my Dad passed away, he was an awesome man, but he died of Alzheimers and for better or worse I had the opportunity to say farewell over a period of years, when he died, and he chose the time, it was somewhat of a relieve for everyone, don't ever skip an opportunity to say I love you to someone you love

Exactly.
I simply remind myself of my father when I realize that I haven't told my wife or children that I love them for a day or so. Therefore, I tell them that as much as I possibly can.

My father has been dying slowly from ALZ for the past 10 years. He is at the end now. He almost died a few weeks ago but somehow pulled through again. I feel like because it's been so long we've been dealing with this, and he has had so many scares, when the time actually comes it will be a shock. It will be a peaceful time for my family...we pray he gets peace everyday. He wouldn't want to live like this...nobody deserves to.
I went home to say good-bye last year when things were pretty bad. I wanted to go one last time in the next few weeks but my mother prefers I don't see him in the state he is in now. Still debating what to do on that front.

Good advice. My mother passed away last month at age 93. She was in hospice at home. She was hanging on, but it was clearly time. The hospice representatives told my dad, my sisters and I to "go in and tell her goodbye and tell her that it is ok to go." We did it on Thursday, and she passed early Friday morning.
It was tough, and I didn't spend as much time with my mom as I should have. I won't make the same mistake with my dad.
My mom and dad were married 66 years, and Dad is having a tough time.
