He was diagnosed last year in March, into remission in August 2009 and the leukaemia returned in Feb this year, he was given 8 weeks at the most and Dad, being Dad managed to prove the doctor&#39;s wrong and lasted another week. His funeral was on the 17Th April a day before my first wedding anniversary. I am due to go back to work tomorrow, and I&#39;m a nurse and you would think that the NHS would have some sympathy, however because I had time off before my Dad passed so I could spend time with him and my mum and obviously time off now that he has passed my lovely employers are taking me through an absence management policy and I have to promise I will not be off work for the next 6 months!! The caring the profession my a&amp;*e! Anyway that is my rant, and while I am on my soap box, if anyone else tells me that time is a great healer I will scream!
