My wonderful Dad passed away peacefully at 23:50 01/04/24. He was comfortable and didn't feel any pain. He knew we were with him right until the very end. He gave our hands a little squeeze every now and then. We played his favourite music to him, Kenny Rogers was always his number 1. We chatted to him even though he couldn't respond and made him part of the conversation as we shared lovely memories from his life. Mom and I are both holding up but so incredibly heart broken that he's gone. He was such a great man and a true rock to our family, I already miss him terribly. Just thinking that I won't ever be able to hug him again hurts my heart. His voice will forever be in my head and I will treasure his many words of wisdom. I'm so immensely proud to have had him as my Dad. He was one of the strongest, kindest people you could have ever wished to meet. I'm so lucky to have had him as such a huge part of my life. He was saved from going through dementia, he was sadly diagnosed with early on set in late January, he was a bit forgetful but at least it didn't have a chance to take hold of him. I can only think of this as a small blessing. He didn't deserve to go through that. It just would have been nice to have him with us for a little bit longer. He was still so full of love right up until the end. He'll be reunited with our family in the sky, his mom and dad, my brother and sister and nanny plus many others who were taken from us too soon. Rest easy Dad, you'll forever be in my heart. 🕊️❤️
