Awe horsehead I'm so sorry but there is no answer on time, I'd like to know the same about my dad, but of course no one has an answer, except for god will decide when.......I'm not religious but I suppose that is the correct answer?! Just keep your dad as comfortable as possible and keep telling him how much you love him! I know only too well how difficult and heartbreaking this all is!! Big hugs x
