The Last Hurrah- My Father

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

The nursing home rang this morning to say that my father was unwell and being taken to hospital by ambulance.

A few hours later the Emergency Specialist rang to say he was gravely ill and I needed to make a call on his treatment.

The nurses have advised that it will not be long now.

Goodbye Dad. I’ll remember all your stories of growing up in the 1920’s as you pass on into the night…

Sorry to hear it,** Cicero**. Condolences to you and your family.

Thanks folks. I’m in Brisbane at midnight after flying across the country. It seems a long time ago that I got the phone call at 5 am.

I always reinforced to my daughters to make the most of their grandparents memories while they were still alive. I could have applied it to myself.

Ahhhh, sorry to hear that Cicero. Even though our parents get a ‘good innings’ (so to speak) it’s still tough when they pass.

Take care…if you need to, you know my PM.
