My birthday was yesterday. The good news is that my wife purchased a Philips Digital Photo Frame for me. The bad news is that her dad passed away this morning from cancer. That's the second parent/step-parent we've had pass away in the last six months. Neither of them will ever get to see our child, who is due in a mere two weeks. I'm trying to find pictures of my step father (passed away in January from cancer) and my father-in-law (passed away today) to put them on this new device, and I'm having a hard time finding any. I also want to put some pictures of my dad (who has prostate cancer) on here, but am also having a hard time finding any.
Take pictures of your family now, and put them somewhere safe.
Oh yeah -- come early if you think there's any chance a family member is nearing death. Last night, Paul had no idea that it was my birthday even when told; and this is a guy who sends you cards for Administrative Professionals day. Yet on this past Friday, we had a slide show, and he was lucid and told us which people were in the photos. Similarly, my step-father had a great day, where he watched tons of football and played Jeopardy. Within a few days, he'd passed.
