I'm so sorry your lovely Dad has died and for all the awful business about people, funerals etc. Sending you my love and best wishes and hope things start to feel easier. <br />I didn't like turning 50.

Sounds like you had a hard time at the funeral and will have a lot to bear in looking after your mum (what horrendous care-home costs, by the way). Belated happy birthday. If it's any consolation, I am 65, still feel like a 30-year-old on the inside and am told I look 50 on the outside. Age is just a number. If all else fails, lie and count backwards!ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-51445067764530612842016-08-13T10:35:50.112+01:002016-08-13T10:35:50.112+01:00AG....we are so sorry...will email you......much l...AG....we are so sorry...will email you......much love xxxxlibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-1819764018736820002016-08-12T23:01:14.404+01:002016-08-12T23:01:14.404+01:00Oh Gwen - I am SO sorry for your loss!

Didn't matter how old I was I was an orphan, so I know how you feel. Though your Mom is alive, the lady you knew is gone, so you too are an orphan.<br />Relatives in time of stress can just be killers. I'm sure your Dad knew you'd do the best you could no matter who stood in your way.<br />How beautiful that those were your last words with him.<br />On the other subject, Happy Birthday, enjoy India and don't get too sick. We're off to Japan and Cambodia soon.

May your memories of him be many and may they always be happy ones.<br /><br />LCM xLondon City (mum)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13700717302832203631noreply@blogger.com
