Going to say goodbye

[Connors.Mom]

My Papa was taken back to the hospital because of shortness of breath.  He has COPD and has been using oxygen at home for a while to help.  He has been fighting this for a long time and things are really taking a turn for the worse this time.  He has fluid in his lungs and now his kidneys are failing.  I feel awful because we are down here in Florida and he and my entire family are in South Carolina.  Hubby told me that we could probably leave tonight to go and see him, but the weather just won't cooperate.  As my mom put it, Papa wouldn't want me and my two babies to be out on the road in bad weather.  We'll probably leave tomorrow when it's a little better.  I'm just so upset because I haven't been able to visit him in several months and we are very close.  I still have all of my grandparents, and I'm scared of losing him!  From what my mom is telling me, he's being heavily medicated for the pain.  He's also told her that he's very tired and is ready to let go.  He loves my son Connor very much and has been making jokes about him.  I want my daughter to meet him!  I just have to trust that what happens is what was meant to happen, but my heart hurts...
