Thanks everyone. What's weird is I didn't know it was coming, at least not yet. Mom did, and tried to prepare me for it, but I thought she was just exhausted and pessimistic because of that. It turned out the situation in his lungs was worse than X-rays showed (they only found this out when suctioning his airway for intubation), and I think his strength just ran out. But he sat up on the edge of his bed his last day, and was mostly peacefully dozing with only occasional complaints about pain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Matt, I'm so sorry -- it's been such a long road, and you've been there so much for both your parents. Peace and love to you and your mom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's something, at least.
And, you know: it's always sudden.

As Jesse said, that's something. But still. So sorry.
