I too lost my dad in 2006. He went into hospital yet again as he too was frail and needed a lot of medical attention for his heart. I thought it not necessary to visit him as he would be out in a few days as always...but got that dreadful call in the wee hours to say he had gone...I feel guilty I never went to see him!<br />He did visit me a week later in the night...I know it was him...!<br />our dads are always there!<br />Bec xbechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419941075576380178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578693482811986796.post-88773942934552299062013-09-04T22:39:59.319+10:002013-09-04T22:39:59.319+10:00Alison has got the words right, you did what you f...Alison has got the words right, you did what you felt was right, guided by what the hospital told you.

I hope by sharing it has lifted a little of the burden you feel you must wear. I can imagine how you must second guess the day you lost your dad, but you did what you felt was right, based on what you were told. Make sure your children know they have a special angel watching over them always, I'm sure your dad in sitting in his flannelette shirt and trousers watching over you all, beaming with pride at both you and your beautiful children.

I guess we are taught to respect medical 'professionals' but eventually we learn they are only human too. I have some regrets about things I wished we had done differently when my husband's parents got ill and then died...I wish I could change some stuff, but I can't. What we went through with my husband's father is part of the reason why I decided to train to work in Aged Care. Just got my cert 3 and signed my job contract today...I start in 10 days :) Part of my reasons are selfish too...I want to be on the inside of the profession to be the best advocate I can be for my own parents when their time comes. <br /><br />xx KarenRestyled Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404229832033808493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578693482811986796.post-49096992856928030752013-09-02T11:46:27.097+10:002013-09-02T11:46:27.097+10:00Thinking of you and I am sure your Dad knows Harry...Thinking of you and I am sure your Dad knows Harry and is watching over both of your kids-love dee xdee -@ The Old Fat Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467499717573385255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578693482811986796.post-73990111236585084472013-09-02T10:48:11.945+10:002013-09-02T10:48:11.945+10:00Catherine your story reminds me of the circumstanc...Catherine your story reminds me of the circumstances in which we lost my grandma.
