ive had a bit of a weird time of it lately. not weird exactly just not good.
i lady i work with has been having a hard time of it lately. alot of family memembers and relatives have been ill and alot of them have died,she still remained happy and up beat but at christmas her dad became ill. he went into hospital and after a load of tests etc etc they found that he had cancer, a major lump in his stomach and alot of masses in secondy locations. the doctors thought that he'd only live a few weeks but he really perked up when he was sent home. through all this my work collegue has remained strong and happy never letting show how bad her personal was......until last monday when she called in to say her dad had been taken into hospital to have his lungs drained. she said she'd been on her way when her mum called her to say the doctors had advised her to get into the hospital quickly. this is like doctor speak for about to die. Natilie said to me 'i dont think i can do it, i cant watch him die' those words broke my heart. what could i say? if i'd have been there i'd have hugged her. so instead i told her to be strong and think of her mum. that if she needed anything at all she was to call me. was totally horrible i hate to feel helpless.

she text me later to tell me her dad had passed away.

two people i work with have recently lost thier dads, its horrible, it only serves to remind of my own dad's fragile health and that sometime in the not too diststant future it could be me calling in to work. i really love my dad.
