Felix today, sitting in Dad's chair.

My Dad, James Michael Parfait, Sr., died last night. He couldn't breathe and nothing we or the hospice nurse did, saved him. He left us at 3 am.

I am happy that I was able to be with him all these months. I've learned so much from my daddio. We laughed together and we cried together and we held each other up. My husband was right there with us all the way. I love Robert so much - now more than ever.

Dad was right, I am stronger than I thought. After grieving this morning I'm coming to grips with his leaving us. Such a darling man, so sweet. But I know he's no longer in pain and he's not confused anymore.

So, thanks to everyone who read our blog; we're glad you came along for the ride.
