Prayers to Pop and the whole family Franco. Interesting bunch that greatest generation, a lesson in humility. They all deserve our thanks, but they'd be the last one to ask for it. Thanks Pop

Thanks for letting us know Willy. Although we would like to, we can't keep our parents forever. My sister and I talked about it this past weekend and neither can imagine what life would be like without them. Franco, my prayers are with you, your dad and the rest of your family.

well said rb. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Franco.

Franco, We're all praying for you and your pop. I know what you're going through. It's never easy! I lost my dad in 1980 and knowing whats happening there with your family really hits home with me. My Dad served in the Navy on a sub in WWII. It must have been extremely hard for him cause he didnt talk about it. I lost my stepfather last March and a month later my mom. We're ALL with ya brother!!

Prayers sent! Thinking of you brother!

Prayers sent, may god bless you all.

Thank you for the update. Best wishes to you, your family and your Pop. My Dad was in home hospice for a short time and it was sure better for everyone than being in the hospital. Those hospice people are saints.

Thanks Nipper, thats great to hear!

Franco, Hospice has been taking care of my mom for about 6 months now, they are a great help in a bad situation. She has COPD and has been fighting it for about 10 years and just give out. i think we are getting down to the short rows now. the best any of us can hope for is an easy transition.
