Lost my Dad last night......

[ITSAV6]

I lost my Dad last night to a massive heart attack. He was 82 but just wasn't ready to let him go. He was a veteran of WWII and Korean War. Never had any signs of a bad heart. He had asbestosis from when He was in the Navy(ret w/20yrs), 3 back/neck surgeries in his 70's(even got in his deer stand 3 weeks after back surgery),beat prostate cancer,and had one knee replaced. He had a couple of light strokes in the last 3 years but recovered quickly.
My sister saw some vehicle lights down toward the pond and he had her take him down to the back gate and it was knocked down. He took his pistol and got out of the car and she couldn't get him to get back in. She got out to help him back in the car and he told her he was gonna sit down on this tire for a minute. He sat down and she tried to get him in the car again and he yelled for her to "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" I really think he knew it was happening and didn't want her to see him pass.
My house phone had fell in the pool and the cell was dead. By the time they got me emts were there and had him on the way to the hospital. The Dr said he had had a bad heart attack within the last 2 days.
Please remember us in your prayers.

At one time, (When my dad was still alive), these messages did not mean as much to me as they do now. I understand and know the pain you and your family are feeling. My dad made it to 70.
