Thankyou Chris, yes memories are all we have, I was like you, all my family could see Dad slipping away but I couldn't, I look at photo's from the past few months & now I can see that dad was getting weaker but at the time I couldn't... I was going to resign from my job so I could care for dad at home but the Dr's told me he wasn't well enough to come home,but I still wouldn't accept that dad was slipping away. The day that dad passed over I sat with him, held his hand, read to him, massaged his feet, brushed his hair, talked to him & when dad took his final breath I had my head laying on his chest, he passed very peacefully surrounded with all of the family. I love him & miss him so much. Thankyou for your kind words Chris, I don't feel so alone now. xxx ... View more

That would be amazing!!! It's definitely little touches like that which make a big difference. When things are so tough it doesn't take much to make you smile. I might actually volunteer to have yearly RAI if you set up those luxury RAI rooms, as long as it had a big TV and DVD library :D Wow, I can't imagine trying to nurse whilst recovering from surgery. You're a superhero! I had enough trouble not pulling my own drains or getting them caught in things, hehe. ... View more
