Thanks for messages
Dad got the terminal cancer diagnosis last year , when his bowel perforated thay gave him a second terminal diagnosis of a few days to live...that was 10 weeks ago - he survived the perforation against all odds, when we got him home, we all got COVID, as he was recovering from COVID, he got a bladder infection when they took his catheter out which landed him back in hospital again.
He got cleared by doctors to leave but got caught up in some paperwork fiasco as they spoke to my mother and asked if she wanted him to be "fast tracked" she presumed this meant expedite his discharge. apparently "fast track - means funding pathway for end of life care, it was additional care he doesn't need right now as I'm looking after him so I ended up helping him discharging himself and getting him back home which is where he wants to be.....if you've been through all this.... you know.

Dad died at 2.20 yesterday morning, I was with my mother at his bedside as he took his last breath.....my dad was such an absolute physical powerhouse throughout his life, at 83 he had everything taken from him but retained his dignity in the face of an impossible battle.
My dad was a Jehovah's witness from the age of 40, it was his firm belief that the bible describes a 1000 year restoration of earth to a paradise after the great tribulation and Armageddon this includes a resurection of all those in the grave. A small number 144,000 will be resurected to rule in heaven in god's kingdom the majority including my dads hope is the resurrection back onto earth as Jehovah says
