Thank you for sharing this. My dad died in late April in similar circumstances (cancer returning, rapid decline in the final days, a hospital bed at home) and everything you've said here really resonated with me. I wish you and yours all the best.

This was a great read. I lost my Dad a few years ago in a very similar fashion. Strange as it may seem, it is comforting to read about the medical missteps, the second guesses and the flashes of the old parent you knew growing up. The decisions and things that you hold onto may mean so much in those moments, but in the end its what you choose to remember. Thank you for writing this in the way that you did. I'm sure I'm not the only one that saw their parent in this.
