Sadly Peter, passed away this morning at 10.00. It has been a very long weekend, Sam, Tim, Nic and Russ have been staying here with us since Friday which has been very nice as I could concentrate on him totally! It has not been an experience I would wish on my worst enemy, he was not ready to leave us quite now so when he went it was a huge relief. We have had such brilliant support from the District Nurses, there is not enough money in the world to pay for what they have done for us, especially this weekend. We were having to call them every two hours to give him more pain relief but it was never too much trouble, even during the long nights. This morning was nice because his favourite nurse helped him through his last part of the journey, he always had a smile for Sarah.
Peter was a trouper, he fought a long hard battle over the last 17 months. This is such a sad loss to our family and he can never be replaced. Today I feel relief, tomorrow is going to be another story, he is finally at peace though and that to us all is the main thing.
Once again, thanks for all your support. Will be back in touch in the near future.

Aww Cherryl I'm very sad to hear that Peter has passed away. Sending you and your family love and strength, Jools x
Take comfort Cherryl that you kept him with you as you both wished. That alone takes strength and shows what a courageous lady you are. Glad Peter is now pain-free. Big hugs for you.
