It's good that you got to go. It's so hard to see a loved one in that state. I did get to be with my mom as she was dying, but like your dad, she wasn't really conscious and I don't think she knew I was there. I missed the last chance to give her reassurance and be present with her, because I was a coward. I'm not the first to make that poor choice and won't be the last, and if her soul exists anywhere I know that she would understand what happened. But still. It's the biggest regret of my life so far.
