Death Is Busy…

April 4th, 2005 by Scott Kirwin

My father-in-law, whom I wrote about here, is in his last few hours we think. Like Terri Schiavo, he has no living will. His wife is no help since she is in shock. So the responsibility comes down to my Wife, his daughter, Dr. Wife…

He’s giving up fighting and there is nothing more we can do. Pulmonary Edema is not pretty so the wife tells me.

It’s been a long time since I saw the effects of Death, since when I was a kid actually. Another brilliant mind, a veteran of the Greatest Generation, a loving parent and grandparent passes on.

All that knowledge. All that experience. Gone…
