THE PAMPA DOC HOODY

Just Get To Heaven 😇

My Dad's Doc Story 

Doc was in BAD shape. All hands on deck. Denise and I both said our goodbyes. He was incoherent. He was dying big time. He is a mouth breather now and isn’t getting enough oxygen with his “NOSE breather”. 

This is when it gets REALLY spooky. From nowhere, unsolicited , an attendant throws a “MASK breather” on him. He begins improving and eventually RECOVERS! A MIRACLE??? 

As it turns out, “Was this Doc’s Guardian Angel!!!???!!!”

Read on!!!😎😎😎

I’m in his room alone, just Doc and I. Smiling, rubbing his chest and then holding his head in both hands, speaking slowly and directly, “I’ll be right here in 25 years! We all gonna die!” 

Doc smiles wryly and nods. 

He is in great spirits with SURPRISINGLY good vitals. He THINKS he’s made it to Vegas for Christmas! He’s disappointed. He DID so very much want to join us ALL for Christmas. (Another story in and of itself) AND HE WILL!!!

I held his hand and said, “No, no Vegas but, we’ve got an even BETTER place to go.”

As I tuck in the covers around him (all Boones know what this entails!) I’m blubbering, as only I can blubber. I speak to him directly and slowly, so he can also read my lips, “Doc, we got something we need to do. I told your sister, Janice, we would make sure we got you to heaven. You good with that!”

Doc is surprisingly quite lucid and speaking easily. He nods and says, “Yes.”

“Ok, here we go. When I say something that you want to say, just nod or say yes.”

“I accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior.” Doc nods and says, “Yes.”

“I confess all my sins and ask for forgiveness.” Doc nods.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”

Doc says, “Yes.”

This is when it got REALLY SPECIAL. 

Wiping my tears away, “OK!!!”

Doc, bright eyed in the clearest voice ever, unsolicited, “He forgave me! I saw him. Jesus! He let me in heaven.”

I’d been holding his hands throughout. I get up and give him the best ever heavenly hug. Cup his face in my hands and kiss the top of his head. Then, sat back down. 

A few minutes later, he said the most awesome thing a son in law can ever hear from a father in law. 

“Russ, you’re a good man.”

And, he gave me a wonderful look.  Beyond just GRATITUDE. Almost a look of COMFORT, knowing he was leaving his world and beloved daughter “in good hands”. 

“Wow, can you feel that? I guess this is what PEACEFUL feels like.”

We were amazed how at peace we both were. 

So peaceful knowing heaven awaits. 

Doc then says to me the most awesome thing. Gives me the greatest gift. Looks me straight in the eye and says, “Thank you.”

I knew exactly what he was thanking me for.  🙏🙏🙏

It was 10:30 pm. We said our goodbyes. We got the call four hours later, Doc Was In Heaven.

My dad remembered this later and the wrote the following:

About the chuckle and hair flip Doc had with JESUS.

Doc says wryly, "He looks like they say he looks. Long hair." NOdded, chuckled inwardly and shook his head. Mimcking his best hair flip.

Doc had many run ins with his eldest son over long hair in the '60s. No doubt the source of many of his sins, just confessed.

It was the PERFECT DEATH!!!
