**PLEASE SHOW SOME LOVE. DUer rbrnmw's father passed away.**

I'm sorry to pass along the news that rbrnmw's father passed away this past Wednesday.

If you've been following the Help A DUer OPs here at DU and have seen her Wishlist post, she had asked for thoughts and prayers as her dad had been very ill.

I awoke to this message:

"My Father passed away at 7:33 AM on Wednesday. I took him to the ER on March 3 and they admitted him. He was there 5 days and my mother and I stayed with him at the hospital the whole time. My Mom didn't want to leave his side; she is disabled from diabetic neuropathy, so I had to stay with her and take care of her as well. They sent him home on Hospice a week ago Friday and I stayed here to give him his meds and take care of her. Now I am here full-time until we get Visiting Nurses and night Nursing Assistants. I don't have the strength to post an OP so if you can and want to, I would like to ask you as a favor to post one for me on DU because I know a lot of my friends here have been praying and sending kind thoughts.

Much love to everyone."




My sincere condolences, rbrnmw. Continued thoughts and prayers are with you and yours....

I can barely find words that would appropriately describe how touched I am by the love and compassion given here by my DU family.

Except to say thank you, peace and love to all,

Robin (aka rbrnmw)

PS last week I couldn't post because every-time I tried to typed I would dissolve into tears. Again thank you it means a lot to me and the rest of my family to know people care.
