    Hugs to you HH, I'm thinking good thoughts for you and your family. I really hope your Dad isn't suffering. You're so right, the stuff we spend most of our time worrying about is quite insignificant really. It seems to take sad and difficult things like this to put it all in perspective. Butler, thinking of you and your family too. N xxx
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

  • Hi, still can't believe all the kind words from everyone, this site is really amazing :A Dad's not in any pain as they've fitted one of those morphine pumps:( so that is one really good thing. I stayed with him last night and am pleased to say he had a really good night, it must be all the prayers and kind thoughts:).

    Thanks again everyone, we're hanging in there:)
