Still don't think we are ready

Dad was diagnosed 17 years ago and was given 5 years to live. He is the fittest man I know and I guess we all thought he'd outlive cancer. Now at 71 he is in his final days/week. He has gone downhill so quickly this week. He keeps seeing his mum and chats to her. He can talk with us and interact, but most of his day is spent sleeping. I love this man so much, I'm ready for him to fall asleep and go, but I am going to miss him so much.

I really feel for you. (My father is also very unwell at the moment and I am so worried about him.) There must be some comfort in him seeing his mum, for him and maybe for you too. Sending you best wishes. xx

So sorry to hear your dad isn’t doing too well, after so many years of living with his diagnosis. I am sure having you in his life is a huge comfort to him.
My mother has recently been diagnosed with cancer and it’s still a shock and really hard carrying on ‘as normal’. She is in her eighties, but however old your parents is, you never want to lose them. My thoughts are with you in this painful time.

How comforting for your Dad to see his Mum. My Mum saw her Mum shortly before she passed. xxx
