Still here

Mary here again.

Dad’s still here, still aware and making the most of everything as only he can.

It’s quite hard for him to find words now but he’s enjoying conversation and company and having the odd giggle, and savouring pieces of dark chocolate with marzipan.

He sends a big wave and a smile from his sunny conservatory.

A message from Richard

Hi!

Mary here, Richard’s daughter.

Dad’s been declining over the last week or so, and today he gave us quite a scare, fitting and remaining unconscious for long enough to make us all gather at his bedside.

Then he gradually rallied, and is currently, I’m happy to say, shoulder and eyebrow dancing to his absolute favourite new artist, Ed Sheeran. He’s been full of joy, laughing and enjoying good company.

He’d like to say thank you and goodbye to all his friends. In his words, “Signing out”.

Anything you want to say here I can pass on, he’s all ears.
