The 'Haircut'

Less than one minute read time.

I work all day so don’t see dad until night, mam requires a haircut so my wife will sit with him so she can get out. My wife is not a ‘coping’ person when it comes to the sick, she struggles when I am under the weather and she is deeply upset at the situation with dad. We talked the other night and she doesn’t want to see him once he passes, I am not sure I could not be there during and after his final moments with us but I would never push her into some that make her uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong she has always been extremely close to my dad, my mam always says she was the daughter he never had, so just put down to how she will cope when it happen, she wants to remember the ‘way he was’.

Even this morning he has deteriorated, so much so my mam was going to cancel her hair, talked her around, being a carer she needs some time, even an hour!
