“Finally, about six months before he died, he had been in the hospital for quite a while so the doctor was even preparing us that he may never get out. My mom was just determined to bring him home, so she convinced the doctor to put him in hospice care. The doctor said he couldn’t see any way he could recover, so they put him on home hospice care. It was just amazing, hospice is one of the most wonderful things our society has.
