I do know it was a blessing for him to have gone so quickly. It’s what he always hoped would happen. He’d have liked it while he still had capacity but he got his way in the end.
I am reeling from the suddenness of it and so are my daughters. It feels surreal. I knew he wasn’t well on Wednesday when I saw him and kept away cos I’ve had another streaming cold which I didn’t want to pass round a load of old and vulnerable people, dad included. I didn’t expect that to be the last time I saw him alive. I was planning to take nail clippers in today to give him a manicure. He doesn’t need one now.
