Thank you all so so much for your kindness and your hugs. I have millions of wonderful memories of my Dad. I try not to think of him just prior to his death - as this was not him, I remember the man who taught me how to make funny faces, and the man who introduced me to the music I will love forever. He always told me that " life is for the living" and I believe that. But its so good to have friends that give you support when life gets a bit difficult.

My advice to anyone who has a loved one in a hospital is to be their eyes and ears and speak up for them. Hind sight is a wonderful thing

I believe in an afterlife, so I know I will be reunited with my dad, I just want it sooner rather that later.
