My father, Leon Harrell nelson, passed away peacefully at about 7:30PM, Saturday evening. Dad's health had been failing for a long time and had it not been for the love and care of wonderful neighbors, he would not have been allowed to live at home alone. He is mourned by many but not by me or my sister. We know his wish has been for the last ten years to join his wife of over 55 years and his other son, Richard Keith Nelson. He's with them now and he's young , strong and handsome. Mother is not an invalid, she's not in pain and she's as beautiful as she was as a bride. He's with his God and he is happy. I'll miss him but can feel no pain of mourning .
In his last hours, life support removed with his approval, he openned his eyes and asked my sister, "What the Hell's taking so long?" He died two hours later.
Lord God, I didn't realise how badly I'd miss him. See you soon Dad.
