Saying Goodbye

I think there were two moments that were the hardest. The first was getting the Dementia diagnosis knowing that both of my grandmothers also had dementia which means I am also more likely to get it. The second hardest was the last ten days of his life. Which started June 16, 2021. I got a call saying he had Aspersion Pneumonia . It was the third time in 6 months I remember telling my mom that I didn’t think he would come home this time. Two days later the decision was made to put my dad on hospice. Over the next few days I spent every minute with my dad not knowing how long I had left with him.
