Went to my dad's house to look for his will [View all]

We found it, but I had to hide and break down several times during the day

My mom was there - and she really hasn't started processing it yet

Dad's best friend and his wife were there

They were great, I don't think we would have survived without them

I also saw my dad today

I asked him what he wanted

When he came to, he recognized me

I told him about the end-of-life discussion

His heart rate went up and his eyes widened

I asked him if he wants to continue on

I think he shook his head - and he let out a grunt

I am going to go back several times to ask him again

We are keeping him on the feeding tube this week

I want to know if that was what he meant

He is "there"

I need a good sample

That is the only thing I can think to apply, the scientific method
