Hello all
In June 21 they gave my wonderful dad 6 months and said he wouldn't see Christmas 21. Well they didn't know my Dad. He was determined to beat this cruel disease & never stopped fighting. He loved us all so much & we loved him fiercely in return. We made some amazing memories that we will all cherish forever.
On Thursday 24th August at 5am He took his last breath. My amazing mum cared for him at home until that breath was taken as he wanted to be home with his family when he went. It's true what they say, they definitely know you are with them & they can hear what you say. He showed this on his final day. Me & Dad have matching St Christopher pendants and as I sat with him holding his hand I took my St Christopher in my hand and at this point he felt around his chest and took his in his hand too. He then laughed so I knew, even though he was no longer communicating that he was still in there in his mind. He then gave a weak thumbs up. Minutes before he took his last breath with us beside him, I spoke to him & talked about all his family by name, his children, his grandchildren & great grand children and he smiled.
These signs soothed my breaking heart as we told him to sleep easy & go and have a drink with his father who passed many years ago.
If I could give any advice at all it would be to cherish & enjoy every single moment you have with your loved ones.
Sleep easy my wonderful Dad until we meet again.
