My deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the family. I know what it's like to lose a Dad and not be there to say good-bye. That's something that I struggle with on a day to day basis....14 years later. I've come to believe that my Dad didn't want me to watch him die. I believe that terminally ill patients choose when they die and perhaps your Dad thought it would be too hard on you to be there at the end.
