Gone

I saw him breathe irregularly
I saw him roll up his eyes
I saw his nose emit a frothy substance
I saw his eyelids shut by half and freeze
I saw the unsuccessful heart pumps
I saw the 'straight line' on the ECG slip
On a July morning, all alone in a hospital crowd, I saw my father die...

Ashish, came wandering by, and read this. Really sorry, and will hope your family has the fortitude to come to terms with this loss.

Take care.
