He had the opportunity to know that he had done all he could and that his efforts were appreciated and that he was truely loved. No man can ask for more than that out of life.
In the following days, knowing that you were able to tell him that will make coping MUCH easier.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
W - you don't want to hear this today
W - you don't want to hear this today, but I see that you have a birthday this week (Thursday I think).
Happy Birthday Wendell !
I for one, am quite glad that you were born.
I know that I am not the only one.
Now in a better place free from pain.
Pax vobiscum.

Condolences from Bec and I. We know the pain you are going through, but knowing that THEY are not in pain any longer does make it a bit easier. It does "dull" with time.

It's tough losing your Dad, sorry about that.
Update: 7:37 AM.
Very sorry for you both. Having seen my Dad go through a terrible ordeal in a hospital, I know what it's like to think "how can this be the same strong person I knew?". I hope you can take comfort in knowing that as hard as it is to be without him, he is no longer suffering and you will no longer have to see him struggle. Try to hold on to the good memories, and the pain will fade in time.
Wendell and Angel, We Are Here.
It is hard to say the right words. Sometimes it is hard to say any words. But I know personally it is even harder to hear any words. At my father's passing it was impossible for me to remember what anyone said. Despite that fact, I knew that everyone was there that cared. Know that we care, but know even better that we are here for you.

In our thoughts...
Please accept my condolences. I hope your memories will give you comfort and bring you peace.
Very sorry for your loss Wendell (and Angel). We will be saying an extra prayer for you tonight.
Hold your loved ones a little closer and find comfort in each others words.
Condolences to you and your family.
"I call him "Dad" despite the fact that he isn't my biological father....."
Your "father" is the man who does what a "father" does......biology or not. You were lucky to have him in your life.

> He's gone. Took his last breath and went peacefully. Amen.
Yes, Amen.
Condolences and prayers from my family to yours.

Condolences to both of you and the rest of your family.

My condolences as well. My wife and I went through similar this winter; not easy.
Update: 7:37 AM.
Sorry for your loss, and sorry that your family had to endure such a painful experience. Glad that you all had the opportunity to say goodbye to him and he to you.
My prayers are going up that God will give you his peace in this situation.

My kids are adopted, yet they are no less my kids than if they had been born to my wife and me. We love and care for them no less because of their biological origins. I thank God every day for them, even on the days they drive me nuts.
I'm sure it was the same for your Dad.
