My lovely , lovely Dad died on Monday - very peacefully in his carehome . He had had 3 years of a life with dementia- but to the end - he would tell everyone they were lovely . He did not suffer any additional pain - just fell to sleep early in the morning . On his last Sunday when I was at the 9 lesson and carols in church , I felt him beside me and heard him sing a carol - hark the herald angel sing. I was slightly unnerved and came home and rang the home - to be told he had had a sleepy day . So I was not surprised when the phone went at 6.15 am to tell me the news .
I would like to thank all of you who have helped me through the last few months - I did not post often , but I would read the threads on a regular basis and feel that all of you understood how I felt as I saw my Dad take his dementia journey .
Funeral is booked for 7th January - just the hymns , readings , letting people know , flowers , catering to try and sort early next week - hope to read at the funeral but that will depend if the tears can be controlled !!
Thank you once again
