April 5


 We made it to hospice this afternoon.  A hard day for everyone, but grateful that Scott is going to be so comfortable and we can all just be with him as family.


He was tired today after his PleurX tube was put in yesterday, as it was a very long day for him at the Royal Alex hospital to have that done.


They drained his chest again, and have left the tube in for future if needed.  Dad felt much better after it was drained.


Monday , On the way home from the Royal Alex,  Janet, Scott and Jeff stopped in to see their good friends Roy and Jackie.


They had a great visit and were glad that they could see them one last time.


Scott is in WestView hospice in stony plain. 

We have to wait about 24 hrs for the covid results to come back, but after that there is unlimited visitors allowed. Even Burt the dog can come visit his Poppa. 


If you’d like to come visit , it is best to plan that in the next week or so while Scott is comfortable and able to visit. 


The cancer is quite advanced and he is declining swiftly.

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...
