Thanks so much. His funeral was yesterday and around 200 people showed up to pay respects which was lovely. I hope he was there with us in spirit, we had a lovely (though difficult) celebration of his life xI am very sorry to hear about your sad loss. I understand and share your feelings that it was such a pity that your parent's last years were spoiled by a nightmare disease. As you say, your comfort is that you loved and cared to the best of your ability.
May your beloved father rest in peace; wishing you strength and solace. xx
