Final moments with my Dad...

Less than one minute read time.

Dad is going to 'go to his reserved fishing peg' very soon. He will catch all the fish that got away....

I am going to miss him.

I am at home at the moment, the journey takes 45 min to get back to the hospital and if I were to get a call, I may not get there in time... I know this and in many ways I wonder if I did the right thing coming home... I have just done 36 hours at his bedside and needed to sleep... unfortunately even after a bath I am still wide awake and reading up about final moments and what to expect...

I am at home because I am planning to be there all night again... arriving about midnight.... so my mum and sister can go home for a sleep...

Dad will leave in the next hours and I promised him that I would make sure he wasnt alone when it happened....

I am hurting so much and I am so sad...

I know he will be happy fishing, just wish it was at his favourite pond and I could sit beside him....

Mum

I very rarely say this to you but after stumbling across this blog searching for my own bit of solace at this time and thought i should tell you just how proud of you i am and what an amazing woman you are, i am proud to be your daughter. You say you get your steel grit from grandad (dad) and he made you who you are-well i must get mine from you, i dont always make the best decisions but if i mess up you are there, you make me tidy up my own mess while being there with the right words.

Grandad is an amazing man and has been a surrogate dad to me over the years giving me that solid male influence through my life, he taught me to be who i am and made my children so happy in the time they had. if lewis grows up to be half the man he was ill be a proud mum.

your strength amazes me with all you have to deal with at the moment and i want you to know that if you need anything ill be here-we may not be close but i do love you very much.
