Going back home to see my Da away
For those of you who are familiar with me and those who are not. We finally made it out to Brisbane in July and we love it and are very settled, however, in October we got the bad news that my Da had terminal cancer and had 4 months tops. He was so glad for us that we got to where we wanted to be and it was an absolute hammerblow!
He has battled this hard and with great courage and dignity and I returned on 4th December for 2 weeks as it was medically predicted that he had days to live and he got a massive lift from me going back to see him. Stella and I had decided that I would stay on later even if it meant being away from her and our 3 boys for our 1st Oz Xmas but he ordered me to go back to my family and we said our final face to face farewells on the 19th Dec which was very emotional and very sore. He made it to Xmas, my Ma's 70th on Boxing Day and saw in 2010. He deteriorated badly last week and we spoke on the phone for what we both knew in our hearts that this would be the last. He passed away peacefully on Saturday and I go back to see him off on his final journey on wednesday. He was so glad that we made it to Oz and I will cherish his memory and our 2 weeks together before Xmas. God Bless Da John, Stella, Calum, Luke and Adam |
