Dad was speaking today(whispering really). He hasn't for days. He's on antibiotics for chest infection again, nurses speaking about sub cut fluids( whole other dilemma). He asked me if I knew he was dying..As he was speaking, I couldn't resist asking if anything else was worrying him. He said 'I'm worried about your mum'. He used to think she was sleeping in the room next to him. Today, he looked so desolate that she wasn't there, that I gently reminded him she was in heaven, and 'with him all the time',I said. He's so frail. He's so far away in most aspects of his illness- but, he does know who I am. Now, I'm sitting here wondering if I said the right thing. I also asked him why he thought he was dying, he didn't answer me. He's probably forgotten I was even there, but I just don't know.
