My Dad - Roosevelt Washington
Dear Reader:
It is with heavy heart that I announce the passing of my father, Roosevelt Washington. He went quietly this morning (7/15/11), surrounded by loved ones and pastor. I ask only that you continue to keep my family in your prayers.

Dear Reader:
It's been a while since I last posted. A lot has been going on that has delayed my updating this site. Some reasons are really great, "Naughtie Notions" and "Pay the Piper", my first ebooks will be published in a few months.
Unfortunately, the more poignant delay involves my dad, Roosevelt Washington. To put it bluntly, he's dying of lung cancer.
I've just returned (2:00 a.m.) this morning from a second trip to Bamberg, South Carolina. My sister, brother, mother, and self were advised by his doctors to come see him this weekend, while he was still lucid enough to recognize us.
Over the last few days I've watched my father go from highly aware and active (as much as a bedridden patient can be), to increasing lapses of awareness and bouts of anxiety. I've had to follow behind the ambulance as he was returned to the same hospital that released him to home hospice care, in the hopes that his final moments could be in relative comfort.
At present, my father, Roosevelt Washington is not expected to live to the end of the week. Part of me has accepted what I must, the other part is falling apart.
I ask that you be patient a little longer. I'm working on a new writing schedule that I will post and keep faithfully. I do appreciate your support and constructive comments. I depend on them to help me realize my dream of becoming a full time writer.
Until next we chat, please view and share the below video. It can express more than I'm capable of saying.












Naughtie,
Sorry to hear of your loss! We miss you on EYB!, but understand the reason you have been gone. (I gave you some credits today to see your blog come up as I hadn't seen it in a while, and I'm glad I did to see this message!)
Your father, and you and your family are in my prayers!
In Christ,
Don

Thank you for your kind words or warmth.
I'm already working on a few things. And yes, I'm actually knocking out the next installments of "No Mercy Gerneral".
I ask your patience a little longer, you won't regret it.
Writing is a wonderful way to exercise emotional demons.
Big hug,
Naughtie

I'm sorry for your loss. No matter how ill a parent is, it's hard to accept their passing, even though we know they are no longer in pain.
