Dad's not going too good..

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've not blogged properly in a while! I have still been reading all your blogs and as ever, you're all amazing & my thoughts are with you.

I came home this weekend for a few days, to take my brother to a concert, and immediately noticed how bad Dad is. He looks like someone pulled at his skin and squashed him. His speech has changed to murmurs and moans. He told Mum he's not happy.

He also told Mum he doesn't think he'll make it to Christmas. Mum sat down with him and planned his funeral with him, and last night she came back from church & prayed with him, letting him know that it was OK.

It's not looking good at the moment but we're getting through. I'm going back to Sheffield tonight so I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for him and my family.

Thank you

Hannah

Hannah,

Of course I will pray for you, your Dad, Mum and brother. It must be so difficult for you being away from home most of the time and I am sure you notice the changes much more because you are not there every day.

Take care of yourselves and God bless

Hi Hannah

Sorry I am so late in replying to your blog. I'm so sorry about your dad it is so hard to deal with this condition and how the person you know changes so much. You are a strong family and your mum sounds a wonderful person who is dealing with what your dad wants at a time when she will find it difficult to do. Bigs hugs to you and your family. My thoughts are with you all.
