POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This morning, I went into my father‘s room to check on how he was doing and tell him it was snowing too much to take him to his appointment. As I approached him, I noticed his eyes were open and rolled back, and when I tried to wake him, he was unresponsive. I shook him and called his name repeatedly and still no response. I checked for his breath and felt a very faint shallow breath. I called my siblings to let them know and then 911. As I was on the phone with the paramedics, I saw him take his last breath.
He was unable to be revived.
My father George Jolly Merrick booked his departure on the express sweet chariot pulled by the flaming horse of the Chinese New Year, on the cusp of Ramadan, Mardi Gras and Presidents’ Day and took his last breath in his human body at the exact moment of the lunar eclipse this morning. I’m sure our mother his loving wife of 42 years and love of his life Louise Holland Huss was on board as well to accompany him on his journey.

Well planned dad!
I’ve been taking care of my father extensively for the last four years and my sister Judy and the family along with a team of caregivers really stepped up to help in these last several months when his care needs grew exponentially after a fall he had back in September. He spent these last four years living in his own little unit right next to my brother‘s house where he was constantly visited and showered with the love of his family and three grandchildren. Such a lucky guy we have all been so grateful and so was he.
There is so much more I want to share.
For now I just wanted to share and let everyone know what happened.
He had asked to be left at home for the next couple of days for a vigil for family and friends to come visit him with purple flowers and his favorite jazz music playing (Miles Davis being at the top of the list ). We will be with him and his body all day at the house tomorrow for anyone that would like to come by and visit, say goodbye, pray, and pay their respects. We will also be making prayer ties to burn with the body.💖🙏🏻💖 by @sharinsierras

Surf, sand, sunset, and smooches, with my sweetheart. I’m so lucky to have this sexy man by my side through all of life’s big and little stuff.

My first time away from this little charmer. Nine months in my body, and another 19 attached to it for food and comfort. Big moves for mama today, as my thriving, happy toddler wakes up without me. He’s taught me so much in his young life. Now we both get to learn more independence. Go get um, dude! 📷by Aaron Glassman @libfestival

Coastal California, Carmel-by-the-Sea, in the sun soaked spring bloom. The ocean soothes my soul like nothing else can. I wish my whole family was on the beach together again like last week. Can you guys get married again so we can all be back there? @alexander_oceangrown

My little son/light is a-year-and-a-half old now and getting more independent everyday. He is the life of the party wherever he goes, assembling a crowd at all occasions with his extroverted enthusiasm and enduring dance moves. It’s age appropriate to introduce champagne in stemware at 18 months, right? 🥂🤷🏼‍♂️ #cali #18months #itssparklingcider #hisfirsteverjuice #cummingssoon by @sharinsierras
