My father was a very strong and adamant person. After living through his own mothers stroke and nursing home confinement he vowed that he never wanted to get to the point that he had to go to a nursing home and didn't want to be a burden on us kids.
Yesterday morning he woke with a bad headache and the shakes and all we can guess is that he thought he was having a stroke and he ended up shooting and killing himself in his home. He was 87. He was a very happy person who loved his family and this has been a total shock for all of us. It was a very long day which included me and my nephew and Scooby yesterday evening cleaning up the scene once the police cleared it and confirmed it was a suicide.
Needless to say I'm a mess right now.....but I will be back.
I don't understand why you did it, but I love you dad and will miss you so very much.

M, i'm so sorry for your loss. my thoughts are absolutely with you and your family during this.
take all the time you need, friend. we will all wait for you.
May angels lead him into Paradise; may the martyrs receive him at his coming and lead him to the holy city of Jerusalem. May a choir of angels receive him, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may he have eternal rest.
Best to you - Mark in DC
I cannot even imagine how horrible this must be for you. I will be thinking of you every day -- I wish so very much that this hadn't happened to you.
Michael, my very best and warmest thoughts to you and your family right now. From what you say at the beginning of your post, I suspect he did this to spare you all from what he may have thought would be a long and difficult period as an invalid.
Big hugs, Mike, and take care of yourself and those you love.
