My dad Patrick passed away Easter Sunday and I have posted about his passing on here before to hopefully help those dealing with the same or worrying about facing it.

Just wanted to add that my sister found some videos of dad on her computer she had forgot about and it was so great to hear his voice on them. The daft thing is he was…[Read more]

Typical. Theresa and I would love to meet up with you sometime and happy to meet somewhere near you if that's easier. At the moment I am fundraising for my sky dive (cancelled due to bad weather it is rescheduled for 5 Nov (gulp!)) but if you organise anything, musical or not,…[Read more]

Just to let folks know that our trip to dads family in Ireland was good, sad at times & upsetting to see the family but it felt right to be there. Mum did great, flying out alone and coming back with myself & Teresa. Still having up & down days which is to be expected but getting on with things as you do.

Hope everyone is staying…[Read more]

I'm off to Donegal Monday with Theresa and I think the numerous suggestions of raising a glass to dad are great! Bit weird thou as dad rarely drank, not much of an advertisement for a Paddy eh! Ha ha x

I've not been on the site much since Dad died at Easter but have been checking in on folks to see how everyone is doing.
Things have been tough since we lost Dad but we are getting through it with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Next week me and my sister are off to Ireland to see Dad's family which will be tough as we normally all go as…[Read more]

Decided to just check what's happening with everyone and saw your post. I just wanted to say thanks – a small word which you will hopefully know means so much more.

As you know, Dad passed on Easter Sunday and we have now had 4 weeks without him. Everyone reacts differently in this situation (so I'm told) but for me the tears have…[Read more]

The Wednesday before he passed Dad really struggled to climb the stairs to bed and we were able to secure an electric bed from the local hospice for him on Thursday. The doctor then organised a syringe to feed medication to Dad and this, together with the bed, was such a godsend…[Read more]

Dad did go on Revlimid for a bit Dai but as the tumour on his rib seemed to be growing still the doctors took the view that it was not being very effective. Plus, when dad starting to feel unwell and weak we decided that the trips to the hospital and the battering the drugs were giving…[Read more]

It's some time since I posted although hopefully some of you will remember me and my sister (Michelle, Dai, Bridget). As a reminder Dad's SCT in March 2010 didnt really work so he started Velcade in September 2010 and had seven courses but the MM continued and he needed radiotherapy for a tumour on his ribs last month. Since then he hasnt…[Read more]
