Condolences Shane.
I am heartened by your use of “lucid and joking”, “quality time”, and “painless and quick”. That’s how I’d like to go.
My Dad was in a lot of pain and he called me to complain. I clumsily tried to divert his focus away from the pain with, “You’ll feel better when Collingwood loses [the GF] on Saturday.”
His response was “Bullsh1t!” and he hung up. That was the last time I heard his voice; he willed himself to die to end the pain. I guess that I couldn’t comprehend being in so much pain.
May your Dad Rest In Peace Shane. My Dad is resting in Peace and Quiet - he often exclaimed “Can I have some peace and quiet?” so we put that on his grave marker
