As you know, both my parents have been very poorly this year but thankfully made remarkable recoveries from their earlier illnesses. In June we managed a family holiday in Sussex although during that week my sister and I realised that Dad was more frail than perhaps we’d realised. That being we had a wonderful week that we shall always look back on as being precious. Dad’s death came as a shock but two major heart attacks on consecutive days - well, it was obvious what was going to happen. I also think that there is some consolation in the knowledge that my father’s final illness wasn’t long and that if we think about what life was likely to hold for him had he lived, then the kindest thing for him is what did actually happen. The cards and messages and flowers we’ve received have been so very appreciated, a number containing all sorts of memories of him and his humour.
