Mum's Medicine

My wife's father died yesterday.

Peacefully, comfortably.

And entirely unexpectedly.

He was settled in the nursing home where he was happy. Well loved and extremely well cared for. 

She visited on Thursday and spent quite some time with him.

She was the last family member to see or speak to him.

Yesterday was a strange day at Ingleman Towers. Many telephone calls. Tears. Long conversations. Arrangements. Questions. 
And the final realisation that the years of unpleasantness are over. His final days were happy but the past years had not been. 

Mixed emotions....

In the evening we settled to watch TV and she had a small glass of fizz. 

A very strange day and more to come no doubt.
