What a day

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

We lost my Dad today.

It was unexpected, but expected.

Dad was diagnosed with melanoma in his lungs 2 years ago. The treatment (which didn't end up curing the cancer) left him on oxygen.

We knew the cancer would eventually take him, but that's not what happened.

This morning the power company was working in the area and turned off the power. Notices were sent, and my Mom had everything ready for him to switch over from the concentrator to regular oxygen tanks. We'll never know what really happenend, but they found him on the ground near the oxygen tanks. He was already gone.

Thanks to everyone on Facebook for their prayers and PD today. It's amazing what a family we are here on the DIS.

Tom and family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. This can't be easy I know.
May God grant your family peace and may his memory be eternal.

Thank God for fathers who not only gave us life but also taught us how to live.
