I have a very close friend who is about to lose her father after a long illness. The family have been told that they are looking at days instead of weeks now.
My friend and I have known each other for 40 years … and I know her family well …
I am extremely touched that she and her brother have asked me to take the leave taking of her dad, who is a lovely, kind man.
I know how devastated all the family will be .. he really is a man who loved his family first and foremost.
I am very sad that his life is coming to an end .. and I will try my very best to honour him in a kind and dignified way .. just like the man he is.
I have a heavy heart tonight.
