I remember the last few weeks seeing each day at the Discovery Nursing home.  One time walking in during lunch time to give him chinese soup or wendy potatoe chives.  He loves eating it since thats all he could swallow at the time.  In my heart, I know that he didn't have much time left.  I see him in bed, weak, and fighting his life over cancer.  It is very sad to see someone like that you care about.  Continue this story at another time..too much to say.

Dad left behind 7 kids and over 30 grand kids.  He was a very lovely father or grandpa for all of us.  His last moments in life will never be forgotten.  When the doctors said he had stage IV liver cancer, it broked our hearts.  There was no cure and no other medicine that would save his life.  My father always wanted something or any way to save him.  He wanted to live to spend a few more years with us.  The last few weeks was the most amazing time we have spent with him.  We went to Bonneville damn, a place that he has been going fishing for over 15 years.  His last wish was to see the place where he caught all his surgeon fish.  Dad loved fishing, he will never forget all the memories he had with that fun sport.  On the way to Bonneville Damn, he would described to me that his car ran out of gas.  He and a friend would take their fishing pool and walk for hours just to get to the fishing site.  They would leave their car behind.  Dad will never be forgotten.  He was a fighter to the end.  He would not give up, showing strength and power to the end of his health problems.  He spent a number of years in Vietnam and enjoyed life as he could.  He said his last good byes to the person in Vietnam who took care of him the last 10 years.  He also spent the last few days with his family by his side.  Dad called his favorite daughter at 3:30a.m on July 2nd, 2015 and told her to come immediately to the nursing home.  Something was not right.  Indeed, his liver cancer took over his body.  Dad realized it and wanted to meet everyone for the last time.  The family spent the last day with him awake every minute to see him.  Dad could listen to all of us the last few hours of his life.  Dad know that God was to take him soon.  The only thing I could remember after his last breath was that the nurse said "he's gone"  Then, I didn't want to believed it.  I saw his face, no movement, no sign of breathing, and background crying.  Then for a few seconds I realized it was the truth.  That life has to end even though we don't want it to be.  For a person we love, for someone we look up to everyday, and especially for a father we have taken care for years.  That knowing he will not call us again, he will not leave us voice messages, and that he will not be with us on special family occassions.  All I know is that he exited this world and entered another world that our Mom lives in.  All I know is that he is in a safe place starting life over again.  Until now, I will continue when I can... I love my daddy, Phai!
