I held my fathers hand as he took his last breath. I miss him so much. July 1995 was a very eventful month for our family. Troy had just started his new job at EDS on July 5th and we were living in an apartment that EDS had put us in. My brother and his family were on vacation and we were going to their house every day to take care of their dogs. I looked at their phone when we got there and there was a message from my parents neighbor that my Dad had a major stroke and was in the hospital. It was July 20 and they were due home from vacation that evening so we stayed at the house until they got home to give them the news. The next day EDS said they would fly me, my brother and his wife to Indiana to see my Dad. Troy would come up later with the kids. He was on life support when we got there and he started crying and pointing at the respirator. He wanted it taken off, so they did remove it. He lived until the 23rd. I was right there beside him holding his hand when he took his final breath. I was so thankful that I got to see him before he passed. He knew I was there, that was important to me too. I will miss you Dad forever…..
