RebeccaLynn's blog: "Huntingtons"

It saddens me to say that I lost my father Friday in the early morning. I am happy though that I was with him when he passed, I got to say my goodbyes. I know he will no longer suffer from this disease....... Please keep my family in your prayers as the funeral will be soon and people are flying from all over and driving as well. Hope this finds all in good health. And I look forward to getting on here again when things are no still so hectic. Becky

How do you say goodbye to your parents? My father is getting ready to pass on. I know he will be better off, but it still hurts more than words can ever describe. I will miss him terribly and hope some day that we will be together again. He is only in his mid 50's so I only got to share 35 years with him. If you love someone don't ever let a day go by without telling them you love them. I hope that one day they find a cure for huntington's so that noone will ever have to suffer from this cruel disease.

I saw my dad today and it has been two years. My dad has Huntingtons disease. Since it was a family reunion I was happy to see everyone. But when i walked up I saw him in a wheel chair and looking 10 years older than what he should. I thought i could keep my composure and visit with him, but when i began to talk to him I didn't get much of response just a faint sound coming from him. In two years my father went from being able to talk and walk to being in a wheel chair and only able to make just a little noise. It killed me I had to walk away and I lost it. Now I sit here trying to remember the last time I got to have a conversation with him and I can't remember what it was. Don't ever let a day go by without telling someone that you love them and keep a good relationship if you can. I am loosing my dad to this dreadful disease, just like he lost his mother to it as well. There is no cure for it and it is hereditary.............. Not sure why I wrote this, just felt I needed to.
