Thank you for sharing the details of your Dad's last day, Elaine. The fear of dying affects so many in this community, as does the fear of not knowing how it will happen. It's hard to read about your experience but important for us to hear. Until we find a cure, death will remain a facet of MDS and we can't pretend otherwise.

It must have been painful for you to write about your Dad's last hours and moments but I hope it was also comforting for you to relate it. That your Dad could initiate hugs and jokes, eat a few bites, and enjoy some company convinces me that he was at peace and not in pain. I'm so glad that you were there at the time and that he knew it.
