    Didn't go in the garage - Mum phoned and Dad has taken a turn for the worse and the hospital are now making him as comfortable as poss and just waitingfor the end, I've arranged with DH to come home and look after kiddies and I'll go to the hospital as soon as school is over. I'm trying to treat each day normally until things have to change

    Love and hugs to all
    Helen x

    Ps I feel so sick and I'm dreading telling the kids when it happens, they are both so attached to him

    Big hugs helen :grouphug::grouphug: x
