Hello dear friend @NatureLover ,
Thank you for being my constant 🙏
Mum's not coping with the daily changes, a creature of habit and that in conjunction with the heart ache and sleep deprivation is not a good mix.
My boys due out at the end of next week.
Not sure how I'll deal with that. Right now I'm in the present and that's all I can be for now.
Thank you for your wishes, I appreciate them very much.
Hope you're ok and that the sun is shining, the coffees hot, and you have all that you need xox

Oh @Anastasia , I'm relieved that your boy is still in hospital for another week...it means you can know he's safe while you're caring for your parents 🙂

Thank goodness your Mum's got you there...although I guess that means more pressure on you. Does your Mum wake up in the night when you get up for your Dad? Or is it insomnia for your Mum? I have been wishing for enough sleep for her (and you, and your Dad)...I know sleep must seem impossible at the moment, but I'll keep wishing. I'll also wish for her to cope with the daily changes and heartache.
Also sending all the wishes I can think of for your Dad (not to suffer is the main one, also to cope with what's happening to him), and you, my dear friend.

Thank you, as lots of people are without power due to the storms here over the last few days, but I have power and my coffee is hot thankfully 🙂
Many hugs and much 💚 to you...

Dad is no longer able to swallow, he's heavily medicated so he doesn't cause himself harm. Communication is limited.
It's heartbreaking and I'm pretty much holding his hand 24/7 now...

Oh dear @Anastasia that must be so hard to see. It sounds like your Dads end is near. Hang in there gorgeous. He is a lucky man to have such a loving and dedicated daughter and family. 💔

No words but lots of wishes for your Dad, plus the whole family.
