Last update on Dan and vicki
Well hey people I just wanted to let you all know that my husband gave up the fight for life and passed away at home this last Sun. He went quickly they said.
There is just so many things that I wish I had done and said the last night he was with me.
Tell your loved one you love them and hold them when ever you can. I loved Dan with all my heart but yes sometimes you just forget. Dan held on for a long time but like I said before he had given up a long time ago.
But now my heart is breaking.
With love,
Vicki

I am so sorry to hear this! Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your Dan. I can tell just from your posts in our community how fiercely you loved him. I so appreciate the reminder to tell those you love just how much they mean to you. You're right, sometimes you just forget. Please know, as Leon said, we are still here for you whenever you need. Wishing you peace during this difficult time. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.Net, Team member). 
I am saddened to learn of this. I will remember Dan as your descriptions of him and his ways made him sound like he was a lot like me. Stubborn and hard-headed. Yet I know that what causes those behaviors in me is fear and loneliness. Though I am almost always surrounded by family, friends, and neighbors, I can find myself feeling lonely and isolated as well as low and mean. But I never aimed it at anyone, it's just my reactions to my own fears and feelings. I know you struggled, and I know that now that it is ended, it's an emptiness and a hole in life. And although I know it was oftentimes strained, I also have enough experience to know that there was much love there. So I wish for you to keep feeling that love and to find comfort there. Bless you and keep you in peace. You are in my prayers.
