There's no easy way to say this and since I have been posting on this thread and the fact that Chuck and I loved to cruise.
Yesterday and 1:23PM Chuck went to be with the Lord.
He was lucid enough to hear me tell him how much I loved him before he took his last breath.
I do not regret taking him out of the hospital and having home with me and his two daughters.
This is the place where he wanted to be and he was surrounded by the people he loved the most.
We held him and stoked him for the last 7 hours of his life.
I hope that he will have the opportunity to meet Goofynina and maybe hang out together in a better and more comfortable place without any pain or discomfort.
Thanks for all your support.
Joannie

Joanie, my heart broke when I read this post. My deepest sympathies to you and your daughters. Chuck was so lucky to have you caring for him and loving him as you did and I know that the months to come will be sad and difficult for you. Please keep posting if you need a virtual shoulder (make that shoulders, there are so many here who care) to cry or lean on. I'll be thinking of you as you muddle through the upcoming weeks.

Life with renal disease is too short as we all know, so why not enjoy your life and live it to the fullest...
I've tried to make his life as pleasurable and enjoyable as I possibly could for him no matter what stage of his disease...
Now I am his fighter. I am fighting for his life. I am not ready to give up or let go.
Joannie, I am so sorry. You have fought the good fight that, in the end, cannot be won by anybody. But you held it off and brought happiness. I hope you find solace in that and peace, contentment, and in time, happiness yourself from all your good memories.
:grouphug; You have our deepest condolences

Joannie,
I am so sorry to hear about Chuck. I am on dialysis myself and waiting for a kidney. My fiance would feel the same way if I passed. Hope he's in a better place.

Was so very very sorry to read this about your Chuck.
Please try and take care of yourself, someone said
Boost - try and drink some if you can, to go without
any food is not going to be good for you.
Again, my sympathy,
Anne

Hi Everyone,
I only discovered this tribute by accident when I started to receive posts from a subscribed thread about Goofynina.
Prior to that, it was just too painful to come back to IHD.
I was elated and extremely emotional as I was reading all of your caring posts.
If Chuck had only been able to read and post, I know that his loving, warm, witty, brilliant, adorable, generous, funny, adventurous, talented, courageous, loyal and faithful personality would have shone through.
I miss him but know that he is in a better place and again hopefully he and Goofynina are having a blast together in heaven above.
Thanks for being there, it helps to get through the pain knowing that you at IHD are more aware than anyone what we all go through with this awful disease.
I wish you all well!
Joannie

I'm sure this has been such a stressful time for you, thanks for keeping us updated. Please see if you could join us in the IHD get together in Oct in Vegas, it would be so nice to pass on an old Sluff hug and it would be nice for you to meet all of us in person. Until then take care of yourself. :grouphug;
-
Joannie :cuddle; Please keep letting us know how you are doing. :grouphug;

Good to know that you're holding up well, Joannie. Sorry that Chuck is gone though and that all the condolences in the world won't bring him back. Try to take care of yourself though.
