It has been a month since I last messaged.

I don't really know how but it has been about 3 months since my dad was told his cancer was terminal and he is still here.  Although I should have buried him by now.  He is now palliative cared for mostly by my mum and sister and every single day in this time a piece of him dies.  He has an infection of some sort almost daily.

He is a man of skin and bones and medication.  Every day I am expecting the call to say he has died.  But it has not come yet.  I keep thinking it won't be long and try to get on with my life.  But I am not ashamed to say I am struggling.

I told my mum today that I cannot see it any more, but her response to that was she has to.  I don't take that to heart but it was a bit of a kick.  Not expected.

I know there is not going to be a miracle in this case but I just wish he would make his piece and pass in his sleep.  But the wait goes 

Someone please tell me I am not loosing the plot and I want nothing but a peaceful end for Dad.

I could go on and on.  But there might not be enough text space for me.
