mary, i am so very sorry for your loss and completely heartbroken for you both. you are both so brave and strong in the face of this. we lost our dad just over a month ago and there are some similarities with the swelling (which will always haunt me). i'm glad you were able to be together in his final moments and that he was still able to do some active things he wanted to do before he went.
he was very lucky to have you and you to have him. it sounds like there was so much love and devotion there and i'm so sorry you had to part ways so much sooner than you should have...i hate the complete cruel injustice of this disease.
sending you so much love and strength.
