Just tell him how much you love him, and what a great Dad he has been to you. Tell him if he needs to "let go" it is alright. You, your Mom, and sibs will be o.k. and will all meet again in the promised land.
Thanks to the spurstalk community for your prayers and wishes...
i just came back from the hospital again...
currently with all the above in the first post is still in critical,
but currently his stable atm and slowly getting better..still most of his organs are operating at adequately lvl only...., so it all depends on his health atm, another surgery is planned in the next few days this time to cut part of the infected lung...another life threatening procedure....
i had about 30min session to myself with me dad...there were alot of things i wanted to say to him....but the words couldnt come out as i was holding back the tears and could only hope for the best that he gets through this.....

Yeh i kept it in my mind....saying stuff like he cant go yet, he has too see me be successful at life, career, family there is so much more he miss out on, he cant go yet...cant believe i felt so helpless in this time of need...
i kept on asking the guy upstairs why all the good ppl die....
The guy upstairs^^^needs him more than you! Your Dad can watch you be successful, at life, career & family, front row & center in a very cushie recliner! He doesn't need to suffer. If it's his time, let him go
Doesn't atm mean ass to mouth?
my old man cant go yet.....there is still many things in life he has missed out on or owed...The guy upstairs^^^needs him more than you!

his parents died in there 20s...during the nam war
my dad and his 2 brothers were seperated at birth at a young age all too different side of the familys and all migrated to different parts of teh world.
they sold my dad and the youngest to be slaves...
i remember when we migrated to australia, we were kicked out of the home from 2nd cousins and karma got back to them.
my family actually sponsored the eldest brother to migrate here and gave him money to go over to philopines to get married and settle here, gave him money to buy a car and a deposit to buy a house, actually we did this to our cousins as well...all livin in 2 double stories etc....(karma all got them)
They owed him alot, my dad live a life of struggles...and he got nothing out of it, now where is the support from these members...i know whats going through there minds...all going to point the finger at my family for this. I can tell by the tone they are talking over the phone and face 2 face.
i had so much planned for this year like buying our oown house without any assistance from these so-called family members. Im just pissed atm, we got so many good things going for my family atm...
i find it my family friends and neighboors in teh area who have known us for +20 years are more precious to us than blood related family, they actually cared and put time out to actually visit us and stuff and check whats going on, a few have offered to pay for any medical/funeral fees...but i think i can handle this all on my own.

Between extremities
Man runs his course;
A brand, or flaming breath.
Comes to destroy
All those antinomies
Of day and night;
The body calls it death,
The heart remorse.
But if these be right
What is joy?
II
A tree there is that from its topmost bough
Is half all glittering flame and half all green
Abounding foliage moistened with the dew;
And half is half and yet is all the scene;
And half and half consume what they renew,
And he that Attis' image hangs between
That staring fury and the blind lush leaf
May know not what he knows, but knows not grief
III
Get all the gold and silver that you can,
Satisfy ambition, animate
The trivial days and ram them with the sun,
And yet upon these maxims meditate:
All women dote upon an idle man
Although their children need a rich estate;
No man has ever lived that had enough
Of children's gra ude or woman's love.
No longer in Lethean foliage caught
Begin the preparation for your death
And from the fortieth winter by that thought
Test every work of intellect or faith,
And everything that your own hands have wrought
And call those works extravagance of breath
That are not suited for such men as come
proud, open-eyed and laughing to the tomb.

My fiftieth year had come and gone,
I sat, a solitary man,
In a crowded London shop,
An open book and empty cup
On the marble table-top.
While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed;
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed, so great my happiness,
That I was blessed and could bless.
Although the summer Sunlight gild
Cloudy lea e of the sky,
Or wintry moonlight sink the field
In storm-scattered intricacy,
I cannot look thereon,
Responsibility so weighs me down.
Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say
But thought that I might say or do,
Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled.
A rivery field spread out below,
An odour of the new-mown hay
In his nostrils, the great lord of Chou
Cried, casting off the mountain snow,
"Let all things pass away.'
Wheels by milk-white asses drawn
Where Babylon or Nineveh
Rose; some conquer drew rein
And cried to battle-weary men,
"Let all things pass away.'
From man's blood-sodden heart are sprung
Those branches of the night and day
Where the gaudy moon is hung.
What's the meaning of all song?
"Let all things pass away.'
- William Butler Yeats
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.
Good luck and God Bless your dad and your family man...
Stay strong, brother.

I hope everything finishes alright and that the surgery is a success....nothing you can do right now...just think positive thoughts and positive energy that always helps others around you...be it your family or your dad..
thanks for the support fellas,
just got off the phone with one of the nurses, the operation was a success, they manage to cut parts of the infected lung, but still in critical stages at the moment, so it will be another slowly recovery process b4 they actually try and contained the spread of the infection within the body and draining the other lung.....
i was going to head in now to have a checkup on the progress and fuller extent update, but apparently they are still very busy with him....so i might head there straight in the mornin and allow the doctors/nurses do what they have to do now till then.
i keep you guys updated on things are going....
i come back this time to inform you guys
my dad might not be with us in a few hours, his in surgery again....there was a buildup of bloodclots around the lungs which was not allowing blood throughout his body, and excessive bleeding.......
Sorry to hear that. Maybe he's just tired of fighting so hard. Try to accept that and be strong!
It will all work out, TDMVP
Expect a miracle!
