Well things are going ok for now and my pops been happy and smiling although hes had sad days he seems to be having alot more happy ones and is looking forward to spending crimbo with us.

Hes been getting out and about on his mobility scooter and has been getting to the pub for a few pints with his brother in law and enjoying the crack with his old friends. Hes also doing good with his eating and although he hasnt put any weight on he hasnt lost any either so its all good at the moment.

Im hoping to spend the best christmas ever with him and im going to make it extra special for him with a big party on new yrs day which i know he will love.

Im not looking forward to the new yr as i know its going to be a hard one and cant bear to think about what will happen so im concentrating on the here and now and spending every precious moment with my pop and making him as happy as i can. I love him more everyday (which i thought wasnt possible) but the strength and courage he shows on a daily basis amazes me and never looks for sympathy. Hes such a special man and im the proudest women alive to call him POP.

Hi Nicola,

Your Pop must be a very proud man to have such a

Girl. Im Like your Pop, Im house bound and havnt

been out of the house for over 6 mths now. Everybody keeps on at me to get a Scooter, the thing is with my medication Im not allowed to drive.

So your Pop is a lucky man and you are a lucky girl to have such a Pop who is so positive and just wants to get on with life. All the best to you both

and I hope you both have a fabulous Crimbo.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Saesfield.xx

Hi Nicoa, What a great attitude - you are so right - take it a day at a time and look for the positive things !

The New Years party sounds like a great idea and is somthing to look forward to after a very special Christmas you can share.

Hope You and Pop have a fantastic time and that life continus to be good for you both. Use his strenth and courage to build some 'Happy Memory Days' even if some of these are just sitting talking and remember better times.

Sarsfield is right, your Pop must be so proud of you - just as you are of him.

Hugs

Hi sars and john

Thanks for the comments and as you both said I am so proud of him. All my childhood memories are of good times with him and now were just collecting more. My pop seems to be talking about these memories alot now and its nice to hear the ones about when i was young and cant remember.

The mobility scooter has been a blessing for my pop sarsfield and has given him that extra bit of independance that he wanted but he isnt on any medication so im sorry for you in that respect. It must be so hard for you not being able to get out.

I hope you both have a fab xmas and ill be thinking about yous.

Ill never be able to express my gratitude to the people on here who has given me advice and spurred me on when i needed it the most and i honestly dont think i would have handled things the way i have if it wasnt for you all so all i can say is a BIG THANKYOU.

Merry xmas and a happy new yr and as always good health to you both.

Nicola xx
