My Dad has been in ICU at the University of Utah hospital for 2 weeks now. I am pretty sure I was in denial for the first week and a half. After all, my dad is invincible, nothing slows him down. Last Saturday he was able to visit with each of his grandkids and say goodbye. Then, in a last chance effort to save his life, he chose to go on life support and try a new "miracle drug" to see if it would work. Before he went on Life Support he told us to let him fight for a week, then let him go. Well, tomorrow is a week. It all seems so surreal.
I sit here at the computer sad and numb, but throughout the whole experience I recognized so many mircles, and small blessings, and overall, the abundance of peace and reassurance from the holy ghost. There was a day they took Dad down to surgery. While he was in there, Dana gave a beautiful prayer and I felt SO at peace as we said amen. I knew it didn't necessarily mean everything would be good, I just knew the spirit was calming us in our time of need.
So, tomorrow, as I say a final goodbye to one of my very best friends.
