That’s quite an understatement.
Sitting in my comfy chair in the Oncology Centre at the BRI, waiting for next drug to be delivered from pharmacy. Passing the time talking to the caterer about final arrangements for Dad’s memorial service, taking notes on the back of a packet of steroid tablets.
Last chemo today, so PICC line will be coming out thank god. Should be feeling happy but it’s all a bit bitter sweet. Dad and I were fighting this battle together, but I know that what is currently being pumped into my body ultimately was what weakened him so much that he couldn’t come back from it.
I love him so much for taking that risk to try and get better as that is what he wanted more than anything.
Having a special quiet session for my last as Dad is with me every step of the way today, it’s been macaroons with my coffee (one of his favourites) and his bangle is firmly in place with all my other good luck charms.
Right, off I go to Tesco online to order some booze for his send off next Tuesday… We know he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
This ones for you Daddy – My guiding light, my rock, my sense of reason and calmness in every storm.
