Already spoke with my commanding officer and he told me I couldn't since he didn't raise me. I've already spoken to the parents and we've decided that it would be better if I weren't to go home, anyways. He is going to have his body donated and after the hospital does their stuff on it, he will be cremated. My mother is buying the ern pendants like today.
I'll be going to see the chaplain as soon as I can. We're really busy out here, a 9 man team to work the PJCC-TT (government center transisiton team basically).
I am in no way happy, but I'm not going to flake because he is dying, yea it sucks and I'm sad/mad, but I realize that people die and that's that. He had a good life and now (well now I'm not sure if he feels anything because of the strokes or whatever) but now he is ready to go, he decided to stop eating because it hurt so much and to use the bathroom (stop eating). So it was his wishes, and when he told my mom (who is taking care of him) she wasn't my mom started balling, but he told her that those were his wishes and she needs to allow him to do what he wants.
