Yeah%2C all the ads and such served as a constant reminder. I suppose as the years go on I will get used to it. But it is going to take a long while for me to get over my father%27s death. Maybe some think it shouldn%27t take all that long. But for me%2C it will. This is my father and we are talking about someone I knew from birth and for over 40 years afterwards. It is going to take longer than 8 months. For one I thing I wasn%27t exactly prepared. I knew someday I would lose him and the day wasn%27t far off. I knew he didn%27t have too many years left. But I thought he%27d have some. I knew he was very sick from the fall and might never fully recover. But he was getting somewhat better. So%2C it was quite a shock when the phone rang we were told that he had gone into cardiac arrest and we rushed to the hospital that was next to the rehab place he was staying and he died that night. I%27ll always regret not coming to see him that last day. I was going to come the next day. Going into rehab places and hospitals and not a comfortable experience for me and it had been very difficult to see my father suffering and not being able to do anything about it. It was difficult to see him so confused and disoriented%28at one point%2C he couldn%27t tell his wife from his son%29. So I decided to miss a day of going in. My mom still went in that day%2C so I knew he would have had company. I had no idea that would be his last day. If I had any idea%2C I would have been there. I%27d give anything to have one more day or hour or minute with him. I know that he is in heaven know and I will see him again someday%2C but it is still very difficult. I so miss the everyday ordinary conversations with him. Sorry for going on like this. I%27ll stop here.
