Dads journey

I'm pleased your dad is having a good day. Sometimes its hard to see the good from the bad isn't it? That will be nice having his brother around, its nice when everyone makes the effort makes everything more special.

As for your dads birthday, dont ask me haven't a clue lol. Maybe something funny with a meaningful touch, maybe something you both remember from your childhood or something that will hold a special memory. A nice photo of you and him together in a lovely frame. (ignore me on a shopping tangent in my brain).

I know what you mean about a personal pharmacy maybe we can get together and go into business.

How is your dad finding the patches? Mum was supposed to go onto them but they have decided to wait a while.

Anyway i hope your dad continues to have good days.

Thinking of you and your family

hi teresa

hope your dad has an enjoyable visit with his brother, and pleased to hear he is at least having some good days.

as for birthday, instead of a wrapped present, how about a trip to somewhere he would enjoy visiting? i dont know if he would be into it but how about Stoke Bruerne (not too far from you) where there are some nice pubs for a drink or a meal and there are also trips on the canal boats? Anywhere really, just somewhere your dad would enjoy, and a day for more good memories to be made.

hope he has a lovely day whatever you decide.

love, Claire xx

Hi Treetop,

What a wonderful thoughtful daughter your Dad has.

I hope his day goes well and he and his brother can look back on happier times even if its only for one day. Dont forget your Mum will need a lot of your support,and dont forget yourself you need some me time too. All the Best and Good Luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Hi Teresa

Its so good to hear your Dad is having a Good Day, I hope the visit from his brother boosts him even further and that he enjoys many more yet.

I agree with the others about the Birthday present, something to bring you all some comfort in the future. Only you can decide if it should be a tangible present - such as the framed photo - or depending on how mobile you dad is, a visit to somewhere to build another 'Happy Memory Day.'

Maybe the best present he could have is just for you to plan to spend the day together. Anything after that will depend on how well he is maybe on the day ?

You could just  reminding him of happier times and memories maybe. Depending on his medication,  maybe share a toast from a bottle of bubbly. I know its tough for your Mum but have you asked her how she would like to share the day as well - she is hurting too mate

I know you have learnt the hardest lesson already -take life one day at a time and live it to the max.

Love and Hugs Mate

Hi Teresa, its good to hear your Dad is having a good day. You are doing the right thing just to take each day at a time. Your poor Mum seems to be having a bad time too.

We are all there for you in chat.

My thought is that the best present would be to spend the day with your Dad. remind him of happier times.
