Did he know that I was on my way? I want to know what it is like to lay in that bed and know that you will never walk out of the hospice. I want to know how he felt about dying and his life as well.

Crimson, this is deep. My guess is if you traded places with your Dad you would know that he probably thought about his two greatest loves--you and your brother, and was comforted by the fact that he knew the love was returned and no apologies were necessary.
I would trade places with my Mother to get a better understanding of her life's challenges. This would then help me to be a better daughter while she is still on this Earth.
