March 26-28

 Hello,

Sorry it’s been a few days ! 

If you have pictures you’d like to add. Email them to me and I’ll make a post! J.Arthurs@gmail.com

The weekend was pretty low key. 

My dads nephew Doug and his wife Benyapa came to visit for just a couple hours. They brought some delicious food and a fruit basket. Everyone has been so thoughtful ! 

Sunday evening we headed to Tyler’s house to have a birthday dinner for Eli who is now 14! 

Linnea has prepared a full turkey dinner . Delicious . 

We didn’t stay too long since the hospital called to tell us that we may have been a covid close contact from the prior week, however it’s been quite a few days since the potential close contact, and a few rapid tests later we felt confident that covid is unlikely to show its face from that call. But a good reminder to stay safe and take care of yourselves. 

Monday Jeff came over in the morning to visit and spend time with Dad, and a couple of Dads old work friends stopped in as well to have a quick visit . 

Couple more envelopes of Scratch tickets came in the mail as well! THANK YOU 🙏🏼 

This picture is from March 19 when we visited Dad on a sunny day outside the Grey Nuns hospital when he was there .

Memories - By Tyler

Big day of more visitors coming. If you want to come, please please do.  What do you do when you know your soon  losing  a pivotal part of your life?  How do you cope? How do you deal?  My dad has been the strongest man I have ever known. He has helped me through everything that has come in the 42 years I have been alive.  I don’t have a lot of sentimental memories that don’t contain him.  He has been my hero for my entire life .  My  go to when I need mechanical input, my hunting partner, my whole life.  Dad has always been there to help me through whatever I needed.     When we found out about the cancer in  February ,  we were all upset , scared and broken hearted .  Then we came together as a family and decided we should go on a trip  we were told roughly 3-5 months .   Seems like the next day everything went downhill.  With the Fluid Draining from his chest, and the pain meds our 3-5 months is...

April 11

We all stare at the space between.  Sit, Waiting for the next breath not to hurt so much.  For it not to be real.  But it is real. The pain and the sorrow.  The grief and the finality of it creeps in.  There are millions of tiny moments in every second, where thoughts of him cross my mind and I feel my throat tighten and my eyes fill with tears.  I know one day it won’t hurt so much, but these days the sadness is so very present.  Anyone who knew my Dad, knew what it felt like to be instantly loved and welcomed. His hugs changed lives. The warmth of them.  He was always so calm, steady, strong for me and for us all.  His wishes are to be cremated.  We will not be having a funeral service for him in the coming weeks.  We will wait, until the sadness is replaced by happier memories, and the gratitude of having a man like him in our lives for any amount of time, so widely loved by so so many is the focus for us all.  And one day l...

April 9 1:43pm 💔

  Time was too short  Our time with our father has come and gone.  As we all know now there is never enough time.   We have spent the remaining time with dad alone and as a family holding his hand and talking.  We have read him all our posts and everyone’s responses.  Dad was the greatest man WE ALL knew.  We will strive our whole life to be half the human Scott was and still won’t come close to touching the lives he has touched.  The final days were some of the hardest moments of our lives as we watched his strength drained from him.  There were heartfelt moments and lots of tears as we sat around his bed saying goodbye.  At 1:43pm on April 9, 2022 the strongest man we knew started his new journey.  He left behind a huge group of loving friends and family.  We have all felt the love and hugs sent to us from all those he touched.  We want to thank everyone wh...
