I've been - a long long time ago - but DH has never been. It's on our bucket list along with an Alaskan cruise. Now if I can just win that lottery!!

So, I basically decided last night to stop into the hospital today to visit with, pray with, and offer whatever comfort I could to my cousin and her family, and her dying husband.

When I walked into the room, I knew Derrick was not long for this world. He had already passed into what I call the valley of the shadow of death. Family started to arrive shortly thereafter, and less than 30 minutes later ... Hallelujah, Graduation Day.

He is no longer in pain. He is no longer struggling. He is at peace, and in the presence of the Lord.

So very sorry to hear. But, glad he is finally at peace.

Still below freezing here. Sidewalks are clear, but there's a foot of snow on everyone's grass still, and three foot banks at the road's edge.
I should be wearing flip flops. Instead, I am still wearing boots. And not even hot, black leather, high-heeled sexy boots either. Nuh uh, I am wearing fleece lined, flat heeled suede boots with mega tread. Not sexy at all!

I wore flip flops today. Only shoe that offered enough support (my really good pair that I wear in Disney) and would fit around the brace. I looked absolutely ridiculous. Had to go shopping for new shoes. So horrible:rolleyes:;)

DHS this morning. Got all major attractions done, only thing I wanted to do that we didn't was Muppets. Ate lunch @ Mama Melrose's. I had penne pasta with chicken and cheese sauce. Delicious!!!

Epcot in afternoon for WS. Didn't get any rides in bc it was PACKED. Did the French film and explored a bit. Then came back to the resort for dinner around 7.

Oh, and before we went to Epcot we explored the Beach Club a bit and walked in through the Int Gateway. That was a first for us.

Tomorrow we do AK in the morning and then DHS or MK in afternoon/evening when relatives arrive.

Today's weather was cool in the morning and windy. Then perfect weather later and cool again at night.

Yup, there's snow on the ground here too. Salt too. Still had to wear flip flops. The snow is melting. It had almost completely melted before yesterday:mad:. I went and got new sneakers today (mine had elastic over the foot and no laces, which I like normally but I need laces so that I can loosen them for the brace) and a pair of sling-back shoes that I should be able to wear before long. And I bought shorts:D.

Ahhhh, you guys are what I need today.
Kinda having a couple of sad days.
That just means that there's an extra dose of joy headed my way.

Not sure why I was meant to witness Derrick's passing this afternoon. As soon as I walked into the room, I knew I'd left it too late. But I know that the Lord placed that burden on my heart last night, so clearly He wanted me there.

As we all watched his laboured breaths come further and further apart, his daughter begged someone to check his pulse. When no one wanted to, I stepped forward. As soon as I lifted his wrist, I knew he was gone. The composition of the flesh changes almost immediately, his hand was cooling already, and there was no pulse ... all within 2-3 minutes of his last breath. Directly across the bed from me were his sister and mother. I could read their expressions as clear as day. "Please let him be gone." "Please let him draw another breath."

Cancer sucks.

Again, so very sorry.

I've been present and right at bedside during the deaths of 2 loved ones from cancer. A wonderful woman who, along with her wonderful husband, were my first employers, and my DWs grandfather. It's very clear when the battle is finally coming very close to the end.

This was the fifth passing I have shared. Three from cancer.
First was my Baba (grandma) in the hospital, my mother-in-law (cancer, same hospital), my dad (cancer, at home), my mom (suddenly, burst AAA, same hospital) and then Derrick today.

Like I said, I KNEW the second I walked in the room that I would be seeing him pass. I never imagined that of the 14 people in the room, I would be the one to check for a pulse and basically pronounce him gone.

Just watching the evening news. Today was the 100th straight day that we have had at least 1cm of snow on the ground at Pearson Airport.
Tomorrow will probably be the last day - Day #101, beating the previous record of 81 days, set in 77/78.

Heavy rain coming, which will wash away the last of the airport's snow by Thursday. Probably going to take a few extra days around these parts.

Your last sentence attests to the fact that, although it never really gets any easier, familiarity does, sometimes, afford people a certain kind of grief defense mechanism.
