My dad is dying - the doctor said to my mum that he probably wouldn't last more than 2 days. He had a heart attack, and cannot swallow - they fed him directly into the vein but the maximum time on that is up. They wanted to do a tube direct into stomach but he is too weak for the procedure.
Mia, I have pm'ed you.
Our thoughts are with you girl.
Love as ever,
Emma & Mark

My thoughts with you. Love and hugs to all your family Aqui
Many thanks peeps for your thoughts.
I was reading the bbc news website about George Best. Was starting to compare them - though no alcohol/liver problem for my dad, they both aren't well bunnies, and I just hope we can get there in time - travelling across country isn't easy and now there is snow.... My dad hasn't been sent off for throwing mud at a referee.
Oh no, *hugs* sent from me to you wherever you are, currently! I hope you have got to him in time.

Can't think of anything else to say that doesn't sound insignificant. I don't know you but I have been through this. Pm me if you want.
Multiveg, sending you and your family hugs and good wishes, so sorry to hear your sad news.
Just to let you know that my father died this morning at 5.30. We were not with him and even if they had phoned earlier, we would not have been let in to see him die in what I think was a horrible, painful but quick way.
Oh Multi, I'm so sorry, don't know what to say, am just so sad for you.....my heart goes out to you..
Lottie
Multi What can I say. I really do feel for you and hope you accept my sympathy.. Hard days/months ahead. I am sure you will be there for your Mum. You know you have a lot of friends on A4A who will all be sending their love...... Lorna.

sharing your sorrow at the loss of someone dear
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy at this difficult time ahead.
Lily
Sorry to hear of your loss Mia. Best wishes to you and your family.
many thanks peeps. He will be cremated, but date not yet sorted. My mum doesn't want the ashes, but I could have them, otherwise, the crematorium scatter them over the roses. Perhaps I could add them to the compost heap.
If you do keep the ashes, it would be nice to have them buried under a shrub or bush that flowers at this time of year. A cornus perhaps with it's brilliant red stems. My parents ashes are scattered under a tree at the crematorium. The tree has lovely deep red foliage in the spring.
Regards
Lily
When my dad was cremated he was 'planted' in the garden of rememberance. Â You have never seen such lush green grass! Â Mia, you think long and hard about your dad's ashes and what you want done with them.
Love
Emma
Thinking of where the crem is, it is quite a way so leaving the ashes with them I don't think is feasible. If we have them on the allotment, I think they would be beneficial. He liked allotments, and that is where my love of gardening came from. I don't think my mum would like an urn with them in sitting on a shelf. He didn't believe that there was anything after death. I remember we used bone meal (as well as blood, fish and bone) in the garden - maybe using his ashes somehow in the garden/allotment would be fitting.
I agree with EJ. It's what you and your mum are comfortable with. Take plenty of time to think about it. Don't let anyone rush you.
Lily
She said she is happy for me to have the ashes. My dad lives on in my brother, myself and Osian with the genes, that is all that matters to her, not where the ashes go.
Whatever I will do with them, it will be in the new year.
Sensible thinking Multiveg.
Just read the whole of this thread and I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thinking of you all.
Mia - big hug to you and your family. My deepest sympathy.
i agree with spreading the ashes, personnally i would spread them and then plant something on that spot as someone has suggested that flowers or similar about now.
My thoughts are with you
