Thank you, great friends.. Tough going at the moment.. but I will not let you down this Summer.. All preparation still doesn't prepare you for the worst. We read little hints and signs from the patient, but nothing makes sense ,til the latter. My wife, although she could only 'nod' gave me the 'OK' to leave the hospital , and be sure her late Mums pet Cockatoo[55yo] was put to bed safely. 15 minutes after I drove away - she died. She spoke to a friend in her last gasp ' take care of him'..Fate is strange .. when her Mum died , it took a big chunk of both of us.. I still ponder.. - But that's good isn't it?-- ..Please treasure your loved ones as if today is the last day, Never get angry, Put your own pain and feelings aside and suffer as a last resort. Treasure what you still have left[ Alison -30 yo baby girl and Molly 5yo grand baby girl] .. My birds/ and all of our memories. Im not yet 50 but I feel about 105.... Thank you - Anthony
