Were you home care or nursing home (funny story about my dad included)


yes, dad at 18 dollars and hour 24 x7 is expensive when he died. It would of been 12k a month.

Luckily my dad only live a week and went down fast. He last wish was to die in his home and he got that.


I will tell you a funny story about my dad.

The day before he died my baby sister, her husband, and their two girls along with I was there beside his bed. I said we needed to give him one last toast because he was really out of it. I went and got the grand marnier and poured 5 shots for everyone. I pour a quarter shot glass to rub his lips with.

My sister spoke first, then my brother in law etc. He woke up as my sister started speaking and with a shaking hand push her arm away to get his shot. We all spoke and took our shots. He did to.

My sister thought we just killed him. I told her if we did, that is the way he would want to go.

He recovered from the shot. He was wide awake and thank us for such a nice toast and went back to sleep. He died the next day.
