I watched my mom die from cancer, and your description brings tears to my eyes. The dehydration is the worst part. I could tell she was so thirsty and the best we could do was put crushed ice on her lips. But she couldn't swallow anymore, so it didn't do much for her.

Let's hope your dad and my folks have met up, up there in Heaven. Maybe they're playing three-handed pinochle even as we type. Bless them all.

For me, the memories of his inability to eat or even drink are the worst. I hope that they are both up there together having whatever foods and beverages they love. And yes, knowing my father, he is having a wonderful time playing pinochle with your mom. I know this, I certainly look forward to the day I can see daddy again. He was my best friend and I miss him terribly.

My mother died from cancer too, but she was fed intraveneously. Why wasn't your mother?
