Just this last Fall, we had a chance to visit with the the beloved Reardon family in Mesa, Arizona. My sisters and I grew up next to this incredible family and have so many wonderful childhood memories.
My Dad and Mr. Reardon were able to spend a few hours together privately,

God saw you getting tired,
a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you, and whispered "come home.... to me"
With tearful eyes, they watched you and saw you fade away, and although they loved you dearly, they could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
your strong hands at rest
God took you home to prove to them,
he only takes the best.

Wow, the timing is incredible. I'm so glad your dad was able to have that connection before he passed away.
