Today was a difficult day, my Dad died in the small hours of the morning. Having been in hospital for around 2 months after a fall he had been allowed home but went downhill within a few days and was rushed into hospital suddenly. 

I lost my Mum 15 years ago and I sat with her as she left us, unfortunately I wasn't with my Dad at the time but my sister managed the 2.5 hr drive to be with him.  I didn't see him as much as I'd have liked as he lived on the Derbyshire/Yorkshire border and I live in Gloucestershire but we spoke lots on the phone, it's going to be strange without him. 74 years of age doesn't seem that old these days.
