Rest well, Daddy

Yesterday, December 11th at 3:23pm, my daddy passed away peacefully from gallstone pancreatitis.

For those of you who don't know, he went to the ER on Thursday (the 29th) morning for severe stomach pain and vomitting. By Friday night, he was having trouble breathing (that was the last time I saw him conscious), by Saturday morning he was on partial life support, by Sunday morning his kidney function had dramatically declined, by Sunday night he was on full life support, and early yesterday afternoon, they stopped his blood pressure meds that were struggling to keep his bottom number in the low 40's. It took just a few short hours for his body to give up after they stopped the meds.

My daddy was the best man that I've ever known, and I honestly don't know how my heart will ever begin to heal.
