My step dad is dying, won't make the weekend. He is only 61 and same age as my husband was. He was a big part of my life. He is with another wife now, not mum.
He was transferred from Exeter to London for a transplant but has been too I'll and now is on his last hours. He is only 8 years older than me.
My son has taken my half brother to try and say goodbye but his stepmum is being awful and depriving him of any information. I just hope they get there in time for Bryan to say goodbye to his dad.
I feel very upset and a bit anxious about it all. Why do I loose so many people?
Love Alison xxx
This is just life and it is so unfair, you are a strong lady and will get through this and provide comfort to your family

Hi Alison
There really are no words. If we knew the answer to ‘why’ none of us would be here. So much pain. We all feel it with you, you’re not alone.
Sending strength (we all need it) xx
Alison, thinking of you and sending you the strength you need to get through this

Thank you all.
Bryan got to his dad in time to say goodbye, thanks to my son. A precious moment for him. They are safely home, sad but thankful for that chance.
Love and hugs Alison xxx
Thank you everyone.
Robert passed away peacefully last Sunday. My little brother is currently make lots of plans to remember his dad but really needs his space.
I hope he gets to remember him as he wants but some of his plans are ambitious but at least he is talking to his stepmum!
Robert was the same age as Ric. He was only 8 years older than me and in some ways we sort of grew up together. He was a very special man
