Well I am a bit laid up with some virus and last night my mitral valve flipped out good and proper. But It came back as it normally does, but I have to get a new one soon. Years ago I ended up in Hospital taken there from work and in a pretty bad way, Th Hospital rang my then wife and requested she come up to see me as I just had a heart attack and I would have to stay in Hospital for a while. She responded that she would see me the next day and not that night. I never slept all night as I thought it would be my last. She came up at 11am with out the kids and believe me the lonely feeling that night was the bottom of the shitpile. last night I woke to the sound of the blood gushing in my heart. A sound like someone walking on egg shells, I woke up knowing I was in a bit of trouble but as I moved my chest tightened and I knew I had to close my mouth and not take in any air, I had too much air in my blood in my lungs and with the virus and excess flem I managed to hit my chest and it re-seats the valve....phew..... I haven't seen my children for 5 months as I am in Europe but I definitely want to get back to Australia to see them. so All I would love to see is the smiles on their beautiful faces before I go.
My ex father in-law was dying with cancer years ago and he was home from the Hospital for a weekend as he wanted to be on his property for the weekend. It was fathers day and we travelled over there to visit him. I saw his face as he got hugs from my children and it was just precious, My wife at the time stayed a little while longer. When the car came to take him back to the Hospital I knew this was the last time we would see him, we were leaving as it was also very late when I stopped the car down the street and turned it around and took the children back up to him and let them into his room. The look on his face, as sick as he was, said everything. My children jumped on the bed with him and told him some stories for over 15 minutes. He looked at me and I leaned down and gave him a Goodbye kiss and the children did the same, He said "You Know don't you? and I replied "yes" I still feel his grip of thanks for letting the children be themselves on his last night. He passed away only 3 hours later. What do you want to see on your last moments?Last year we went to visit my current father in-law and he was very ill. His eyes were blood shot and he was so drunk that he couldn't stand. I looked at him and as I don't speak the language I realised he was on deaths door. I was told he hadn't slept for over four days as he was afraid that if he closed his eyes he would die. His son was there and he was getting him yet another glass of wine as well as himself one. My wife walked out and my step daughter did as well. I said you have to ring an Ambulance and get him to Hospital she told her mother and she said "he will not go." I said "if you don't you will not ever see him again." Nothing was done and he was just sitting there in his lounge with a glass of wine and his son was just as drunk. He died just 1 hour later. His last vision was the bottom of a wine glass.
What do you hope your last vision here will be? it doesn't have to be with your eyes, your feelings can also be your last vision i all ways have some photos of my children with me, and It feels just great knowing I have these with me.
I am sure there can be some good stories and answers from The Mylot people.
