I've never had the pleasure of saying "goodbye" to a loved one for the last time before they pass away. Although it wasn't a fun experience, it was a privilege to be able to say a final farewell to Opa tonight.
We do not know that it is his time yet, but he has a procedure scheduled for tomorrow morning that has a lot of risks to it. He called a family meeting tonight so that he could set his affairs in order, and so that everyone could say goodbye. It was a difficult thing to witness, I hate saying goodbye, but it was great to get the opportunity. Often death comes out of nowhere and we are left with all these things we wish we had gotten a chance to say, or say one last time.
Good luck tomorrow Opa. I hope to see you soon.
