This was taken the day before we left for Orlando. Dad went home from the hospital later that day. He passed away eleven days later. He was able to go on one more elk hunt, waited for us to return from our trip and made it til the day after Bo & Grace's 4th birthday. I'm very thankful for that! I didn't want to always spend their birthday knowing it was the day my dad died. I think I'm still in shock and I'm waiting for him to call me to ask me where my mother is and if I've heard from her today. He did that a lot when she wouldn't answer her phone. I just don't think what has happened has sunk in yet. I still think of him as being at the Ranch, I guess in a way maybe he is. I don't want him to be gone, I cannot accept it yet I was the one holding his hand as he took his last breath. It was sad and horrible, not what he wanted. I truly hate the finality of death.
