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 .

April 13 - Cancer can suck it

 The reality of it all still has not set in. I still just think he is out in his shop like he always was, fiddling with the truck or having a rum with his friends. Or its a weekend, and he is away fishing.  I can't sleep, but when I do, I find myself having conversations with him, or about him, or hes just there somehow. Lingering always in my thoughts. A few weeks ago, while he was still home, he was getting a 2 am dose of pain meds, and I had gotten up the previous couple nights to help him with that, instead of my mom (or sister) waking up to help. But on this particular night, I was not going to get up to help, as I had my alarm set really early (5:30 am) to try to go to the pool to swim and get some much needed exercise. So I was not going to wake up at 1:45 am. I have been sleeping in the room in the basement on the back end of the house. with the door tightly closed, because I like it wintery cold and always open the window to outside as far as it goes. so I keep the do...

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...

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...
