i was able to visit my father on Tuesday and Wednesday. He had perked up a bit after some ice cream on Tuesday and was asking non-verbally for kisses from his wife, recognized me and held my hand and even made some non-verbal jokes.

Wednesday was not as good.

I told him what I told my mother -- "you have already given me enough love to last the rest of my life but I will miss you every day."
