Loss

I bought Amtrak tickets to go spend a Christmas with my Father in Law, and take his great granddaughter to meet him at last, but last night my husband’s oldest brother was with him as he died from a sudden pneumonia only half an hour after we got the call that he had been taken to the hospital. At nearly 89, Harvey has had a really good life and will be missed so much. It’s definitely one of those, sadder for all the people who will miss him, than for him himself Times. He announced last year on the day before Thanksgiving at his wife of 65 years funeral, “I’m only going to live one more year.” And he had a DNR on file and was ready as anyone ever can be. Still, I am grateful for every moment I was lucky enough to be part of his family. RIP Harvey Goode, Feb. 8, 1929 - Dec. 4, 2017

Btw. Not that it is very important but there seems to be something wrong with the date od your camera.

As you say, a really good life at 89 but hard for those left behind especially at this time of the year.

So sorry Dixie, that would be a shock to all. He would have been looking forward to your visit too! Sounds quite a character who knew his own destiny.

So sorry for your loss Dixie A really good life, but it's still so difficult for those left behind no matter how long someone live.

[Dixie Goode]

@gijsje thanks, but that is probably the right date. It is an old film print, that I took a picture of with my camera several years ago

My sympathies to you and your family. That's pretty amazing that he knew he'd only be around for a little while longer. He looks and sounds like a very special man.
