i’ve already posted about this on twitter and facebook, but if you aren’t on either of those or if you missed my posts, pap-pap passed away saturday night. 🙁 it wasn’t unexpected since about a week before a decision was made to stop dialysis and so we knew that over the course of the next week or two that he’d be going into a natural coma and things would run their course.
i feel like i should be more sad about it but since he had been sick for quite some time and because we knew how things would go, i guess it gave me time to accept it as being inevitable. just thinking about it keeps giving me a headache, though. it’s no fun seeing other family members broken up about it, either. 🙁
