Dads Bithday

Less than one minute read time.

What a beautiful day yesterday. Dad even phoned me yesterday to find out when we were coming in. We bought him balloons and presents. He got up and even managed a bath as he has been so weak but it took it out of him. it was so nice to have tracey with us and i feel dad perked up as Tracey came and it was his birthday. He had sleeps in between  and we couldnt leave the hospice as dad is very weak. We even got a cake but not allowed to light the candles for health and safty. But that was ok. Dad hasnt eaten or gone to the toilet for one week. He paid for it today as he slept most of the day but we took  lots of photos. Tracey had to leave today and that was hard but dad was so weak he  couldnt cry. Atleast Tracey got to spend some time with him. The hospice nurses have so lovely and nothing is too much. I am truely blessed to have such an amazing dad xxx

    dear teresa

    oh i am so glad to hear your sister and your dad and all your family got to spend some time together. of course in a better world it would not have been spent in a hospice, but i meant that you had been concerned your dad wouldnt even be awake for your sisters visit, so what he managed was above expectations.

    and bloody health and safety - no candles - i'd have lit 'em anyway!

    i hope that your dad continues to be comfortable, and i send you and your family my love.

    always here if you should ever want to talk.

    love, C xxx

    So glad your dad rallied and enjoyed his birthday.  It must have been lovely for you all.  I agree with Claire about the health and safety rules surrounding lighting candles on the birthday cake, outrageous!  I'm also glad that your dad and Tracey were able to spend some quality time together before she had to go back.  Hope your dad continues to feel comfortable and can enjoy his time with you and the family.  Take care.  Caroline XX

    Thinking about you, glad your dad got his birthday, mum had hers 10 days before we lost her and I am actually comforted by that now so I hope that you will be too. Memories are precious and the more we can make, the more we gainxx

    Thinking of you , with love Sharon
