My father....
Finally lost his 6 month battle with cancer last night.
Poor old sod didn't even recognise me when I went to see him in the afternoon, he was that morphin'ed up to the gills.
Went home intending to come back this morning, got the call at 11pm that he had passed.
Sad day.

Very sorry to here that Jonesey. My father also passed away (2 yrs ago) from cancer......all within 3 weeks of finding out he had cancer. Anyway, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Hi,
Nothing but the best for you and the family.
I, too, lost my father to cancer and those last moments were not pleasant.
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Thank you for all your kind words
I am so glad I went with my sister to see him last night, to see him free of pain and anxiety was a complete blessing.
I will take better memories of seeing him like that compared to how he was beforehand.

Hey man, I don't know you, and I didn't know your Father, but I just want you to know that I am saddened to hear about your loss. My Father is still alive, but he is closer to the end than the beginning, and I try my best to make each encounter productive.
Your story is a wake up call for all of us who are still able to have close relationships with our parents...do not take them for granted.
Peace be with you.

Colin words fail me when it comes to what to say about the loss of your father ...
Stand tall and know that love is far stronger than the grave ...
I lost my mom to cancer in 88 ...the truth is our relationship was troubled ...
I was lucky towards the end of her life because we had the opportunity to have patched things up ....
Even though she is gone , I feel her love more now each and every day ..
all the best,
Kenny

Very sorry to hear that, Jonesy, I lost my father in '92 to Alzheimer's and multiple strokes, and my mother in '87 after five months in the hospital with leukemia.
Sincere condolences and best wishes to you and your family.
