Something to ponder

[TX_bowhunter37]

Tonight i was talking with my Father and he wanted to talk to me about his health saying that he cant go to the hospital because no one to take care of one of his dogs who very old. I told him i will do it because he does not need to do that to himself. I have always offered to help him in any way I am the only child out of 9 that will call him on a regular bases and come out and see him in Brownwood.

He has mention to me in the recent path that he thinks he wont be around much lomger and tonight said he provide his neighbor my number incase something to happens to him.

So here the question do you think people can sense when the end is near. My fathers health is not all that bad but its not great

I don't know if it can be sensed or not. My father in law is at the point that he's ready for the rest. He says he's tired and has lived long enough. I think we get to a point where we know we have lived a good life and are ready to go home.

I don't know if your dad is, so called, calling his shot right now, but I do believe some folks know when it's coming. In my work I've seen it several times. Prayers to y'all.

My grandmother seemed to know that her time was almost up. She called everyone and wanted a family meeting. Some of the immediate family members lived 5 hours away. Everyone got there that day and she said good bye to everyone while resting in her bed at home. Within an hour of everyone arriving she passed away surrounded by the people she loved. Very strong lady she had been through 7 open heart surgeries and a rare disease called Q-Fever during her lifetime.

I don't know, but my mother passed 2 weeks ago, as much as it hurts me in my heart....believe me, the pain of doing what is needed with out plans or a will hurts in the other part....please sit down with him, get the will settled..and let him know you have no plans to worry about this for another 50+ years...

Everything is already taken care of in that aspect

Yes, I believe they know. My Dad did. He told my BIL that he had very little time and less than 3 months later, he passed. This he told my BIL before he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer.

I think that some know they are getting very weak and they decide to just give up and quit fighting it. They know in the sense that they are ready to go.

My dad has terminal lung cancer and he keeps saying that this is gokng the best christmas he will ever see. I hope he is around longer but he is really spending a lot of time with us recently....

My dad was at his ranch and called me to come get him as he wasn't feeling good. I went and picked him up and drove him home. I hung around for a little while and a little later he called me in the bedroom where he was laying. He thanked me for getting him home. Now being from the greatest generation he was not the type to tell you he loved you even though he showed it everyday. He said he was feeling a little better and said he loved me and thanked me for being a good son. He passed away sometime during the night.

Yes I think some people know.

[cheez]

I do think people know when it is time.

Enjoy every moment with your Father.

He might know something you don't. Might pry a bit more and make sure there's nothing wrong that he's not telling you.

My Mother is stage 6 Alzheimer's. She was a beautiful woman who always made sure she looked good, and watched her weight. Now she's frumpled and talks to people that aren't there. She would be mortified if she would have known how she would turn out.

It's the worst way to go....
