Passing of an era

for the last few years i was taking care of my dad, aka the Geezer. The Tuesday before Memorial day, he was hospitalized due to a serious UTI and pneumonia. he spent a week in a hospital then spent 3 weeks in a rehab facility. then came home then went back to the hospital. Another bout of the UTI and pneumonia and MRSA! the MRSA he got at the short term facility. Another week in the hospital and 3 weeks in another facillity. then home for 2 weeks. then he had to go back to the hospital and another rehab place.
     while at the rehab place he was sent back to the hospital, blood in his urine and shaking and fever. another week in the hospital. Now onto the final rehab place. this past Saturday, as i am pulling into their parking lot, i get a call from the rehab place, Geezer fell and he hit his head. paramedics were were on scene and about to take him to a hospital. call brother about it. he said keep him posted.

    finally get up to the floor, told to wait in another room. there was issues with the room. after several minutes, finally told he was not going to make it and was dying! got brother down to facility.

    since then i have been on a roller coaster of emotions since then. last night was the first night i slept through the night. today was the first day i didn't start crying when i told people about his passing.
