Fathers Day 2019 - The Last one

On the 1st June 2019 my Dad passed away. He died very peacefully at home exactly where he wanted to be, with myself, my son Alex, and my brother Stuart with him.
I had started this card back in March when he was taken into hospital. I thought I can get this done while he's in here, but as time went on (he was in for 5 weeks and had 13 bags of blood) it was clear his time was coming to an end. So the card was forgotten as I spent more time at the hospital and then taking care of him when we got him home, but when he died I was determined to make this one last card for my Dad for one last Fathers Day...

Night night Dad 

Thank you card for my daughter-in-law

My Dad is very ill and can no longer use the stairs, and so can't get to his bedroom anymore (he has a bed downstairs now). And his old room had become a bit of a dumping ground for the 2 walkers, wheelchair and other aides he can no longer use. So anyhoo my son and daughter in law came to visit and Phoebe decided she wanted to clean up my Dads old room, she spent about 3 hours sorting tidying dusting and vacuuming and now it looks lovely and fit for purpose. And so I made a thank you card ...
