For those who know me, and as a result also know all about my Dad, my wonderful father passed away in his sleep at around 1.30pm on the 19th January 2011 (Australian time).
Dad quietly slipped away after 13 years of battling young onset dementia at age 66.
I love him so much and will always miss him. He was a fighter and I am so proud of him.
Take care all,

Dear Nat,

I'm so sorry. Your love for your dad is so clear and it will always be with you, as will he. I know. I lost my dad a year ago. From one daughter to another, may I send my deepest sympathy.

He was obviously a very brave and special man.

Sending love and support for the weeks and months ahead,

I am truly sorry to hear this - so my deepest sympathies.

It sounds such a lovely way to go, sleeping soundly. I hope you find comfort in knowing you did your very best for your Dad and he will have known that.

Take care and please keep in touch if you wish.

Hi Jc, my deepest sympathy on your dads' passing.
Your love for dad shows through so much, and i'm sure you will treasure the precious memories you have, and the good times before dementia. They will be your comfort and strength.
Take care, Love Necion. x

Hello Nat

I remember you so well and I am so sorry to hear your news. I don't post much these days due to caring for David my husband. I remember your wonderful wedding photos you posted and always looked forward to your posts. Take care and be happy that your wonderful dad is now at peace. Love Katie xx

so sorry

Nat, so sorry your Dad dies so young with such a hard road to follow. My husband is 68 diagnosed in 2005 but with vascular dementia which is slow developing. We live about 60 miles north of Sydney so are also Aussies.

I hope now you find peace and looking back see you did all you could for the man you love so much.

(((hugs))) from Sue.
