Dad’s passing

(Back blip). My lovely Dad passed away peacefully at 10.30 am, two days after his 96th birthday and we were with him.  We had been called into the hospital at 3am as his condition was deteriorating.  He was on strong morphine to keep him comfortable, so couldn’t communicate verbally, but he tapped my hand when I was upset.  After he had passed and we were driving home I felt warmth all around me and heard his voice in my head saying, ‘Be brave, Lovey.’

The last words he said to me a couple of days previously were ‘Bye Bye Lovey’.

He was wonderful and I will miss him for the rest of my life.
