  • Andy, it is so very difficult because everyone reacts differently.   It would be nice for your dad I am sure, if you could spend some time with him and perhaps just let him know you are there and I am sure your mum would appreciate it too.  If your dad only has a short time you really need to make your peace now as, when he is no longer with you, you may feel sorry that you didnt.

    Why don't you plan to make Christmas a good time, with your wife and mum and dad.  Just so you have some good memories for the future.

  • Hi Pauline , just to let you know we had a great xmas , had a good laugh , opened all the presents together , i think i need to man up a bit xx

  • Oh, Andy, what great news, I am sure you and all the family feel so much better.  Why should you 'man up', it's your dad and you are entitled to feel emotional.  With best wishes to you and all your family.  Please come back and talk to us. x
