My dad passed away yesterday morning. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet. After a very hard week, he finally found peace.

Hello,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my dad to meso in August of 2011. It's been tough to say the least. He suffered so much--two surgeries one in February and then died in the hospital in August after the second one--that's when they diagnosed him.
