Peace at Last

Posted on September 14th, 2009 in Just Pensive

Our family friend Bill passed away yesterday morning due to complications from Huntington’s Disease.

I am so incredibly grateful to have been able to say goodbye.

  1. I’m so sorry for your loss. One of my students lost her adoptive dad to HD last year, it’s such a bad disease.

  2. I’m sorry for your family and his. Your story of your mother’s kindness really moved me.

  3. I’m glad you got to say goodbye, too. Thanks for sharing a bit of his story with us. In honor of your family friend, the band that he loved.

  4. I was just thinking about him today and wondering how he was doing. I’m sorry for your loss.

  5. I am so sorry for your loss, your blog about him and your mom was very touching.

  6. Thank you all so much! Huntington’s Disease is pretty craptastic; at least Bill went the way he wanted to, as opposed to living on a feeding tube for another ten or twenty years (as his mother did). The nurses were around him and he is finally at rest.
