Hello everyone,

So sorry I haven't been on the site for a while. Dad has been really ill and has spent the last 2 weeks in hospital. I have been visiting him constantly but sadly, he died early this morning before I could get to see him for the last time.

Dad has had this dreadful disease for 14 years. He has borne it with humour, stoicism and courage. I am so proud of him.

I expect the family will have quite a hectic time over the forthcoming week but I will be back when things settles down. I did manage to send a very positive questionnaire in to Katherine about how supportive TP is and I do hope I will be able to help others with my contributions in the future.

Love to all.

Polly H

Oh, I am sorry! You must be so sad - anything I say here would seem to totally inadequate, but love and prayers are on their way to you and for your lovely dad xxxx

Thank you Shiela. You made me smile, calling by Dad lovely. He surely was....he never told me how much he loved me but when I rang Mum from out of town, he gave her an inquisition after the phone call! lol.

He sounds very special - no wonder you are proud of him.

Dear Polly,

Very sad to hear your news. The way that you describe your dad's "humour, stoicism and courage" is really touching - it's the most that any of us can hope for in difficult times.

Take care,
