My mother passed, we think, from cancer.

7. pretty much how my dad went. it was a shock.

but he had been in poor health, w a collapsed vertebra for years that left him taking lots of pain meds. fell one day, and hurt his arm. took him for an xray and 3 days later he passed.

that was a long time ago, and there wasnt much they could have done had they caught it. but it was still so quick.

it really does make a difference to be able to say goodbye. i'm glad you got that chance.
