Dad’s funeral today. Beautiful, bright and sunny.

So many people, from all areas, relatives, friends. Mum was very touched that all the girls who had cared for him turned up. Says more about Mum than Dad.

Today my lovely, kind Dad died.

He has been poorly for a long time, dementia is a horrid path. But through it all he never became angry and was amenable, often cheery until the last few months when there was almost no communication.

Tony called by around 7.30 to tell me Dad had gone in to hospital, by ambulance, at 3.00. After dropping off Mabel headed to GY, called Tony and he told me Dad had his support taken off and was passing away right then.

Long drive, in many ways. Sad.

Mabel first day at Ugley Ducklings.
