    Been out of Uk for a few weeks to tend to some family business ref my Dad and returned yesterday. 

    Seeing things out there brought back memories, very sentimental ones too.  The day I arrived there the news was broken to my Gran, we all sat together and cried for ages.  I feel for gran, shes lost her husband and 2 sons all to cancer, so I can't imagine what and how she is feeling.  The relationship between my mum and…

    It is exactly 3 months today (or 13 weeks) since the sad loss of my dear Father.

    My heart hurt so much upon receiving this news.  Being a carer for my Dad and also a translator for him made it hard.  I tried so hard to hold back my tears whilst delivering the news this afternoon.  I was ok until my Dad broke into tears, then that made me cry.
