It's not easy.

I only visited my father in the hospital once, because he was dead before he left the house, he lasted less than an hour after they shut off the machines.

I wasn't there for that because watching my father die in front of me twice in three days was something I couldn't do.

It's an intensely personal thing, but I think you're making the right calls.

That's hard man I am sorry you had to go through that. I last saw my dad a year before he passed. He got injured and was in a physical rehab center for a month and my oldest brother told me I had to help so I spent a month with him and helped him get to an assisted living home. That brother never did show up. Had the gall to ask for 1000 dollars when driving *by* the area, I gave the money no questions asked, he didn't even stop for a day to say hi to dad.

It is surreal being here. My mom is in a hospice routine at home so we are in the living room where I grew up doing homework on the floor with the stray cat, watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune through the mirror in the China cabinet in the kitchen, playing on my first computer and playing N64 and dreamcast and PS2. Having friends over or going to their house. Just a ton of memories and now we are at this point.

Thank you all for the support and kind words. I just sent emails out to my college professors explaining why my work isn't getting done, one already responded that it's no problem so that's good. Just a lot of shit to stress about
