Hey, Babe, I miss you so much sometimes it hurts so bad. I love you and all the laughter in our home. Things will never be the same, but it's a new normal, and I can barely believe you would have been 39 this year. | Mom | Missing You | February 20, 2025 |
I think about you every day. I can't believe I am coming up on 15 years on March 1, 2025. I often wonder how you would look at 39 years. It is so hard to imagine since the last time you were only 23 years old. Your father has been gone since May 5, 2025, and feels strange in this BIG empty house.

Your dad is with you now. Your father passed away May 5, 2024 after many months of dealing with cirrhosis of the liver and cancer in his liver and they were rather large tumors December 20, 2023. dad's primary physician said Admit yourself to the hospital and have them call me. Of course your father was in a hurry to get out of the hospital because Christmas Eve was only three days away.They did do a scan and they found out that he did have cirrhosis and acites in his belly, If the hospital told your father, he didn't tell me. He was back in the hospital again in late February from a fall he had in the bedroom. While he was there, I mentioned about how full his belly was so they did an x-ray and they took some fluid out for the first time. There was 5 L of fluid for a few days after that and then he came home. He followed up with the oncologist, who didn't seem to be able to find, where the cancer was because his blood test showed his calcium level was 13+, which men Tom had cancer somewhere, that oncologist was unable to find where the cancer was. The second trip provided the information about the cancer and where it was, of course the cancer was in the liver. Your father had a couple immunotherapy sessions, which were senseless to start, especially if they knew it was terminal, which they did. Your father's liver was failing quickly. Things were starting to shut down. He was jaundice completely yellow actually almost orange. It was at that point when he started leaking fluid from his legs that I called the ambulance again that was on February 28. At that point, they did a scan and found out that the bile ducks were not clogged,it was the tumors that were so large they were're blocking the bile ducks. They told them there was nowhere to go from there. Tom decided to stop the immunotherapy. Tom wanted to go to a hospice house. He said I shouldn't have to take care of him like this. I was not allowing Tom to die in hospice away from me nor was I going to leave him die in the hospital alone. I demanded that the hospital release him then and I wanted him home by this evening. They brought him home 7 PM on April 29, 2024. I called Rick and told him he needed to come quickly. I wasn't sure how long dad would last in his condition, Rick was here a couple hours later. Rick was not ready for what he saw. He couldn't believe how in one week dad had gone downhill. Your father died five days later with me, Rick and Emma with him.| Robin | Today marks 4 years | March 2, 2014 |
