FINAL PREPARATIONS

Although at time it seemed that it would never arrive the final day before Pa,s operation is here,and indeed has almost gone. It has of course been fraught as anything to do with organising Pa usually is, I shall go into no details,suffice it to say that between endless calls from well wishers and finding vital objects now missing although safely packed days ago the day has not been exactly relaxing.

The hospital transport will collect the old boy in the morning and he is to have a shower before he goes. Getting Pa out of bed before ten for anything short of a house fire has not been done in recorded history so the Lord help us tomorrow.

For now we must all try to relax,try to get some sleep so as to be ready for the day to come,oh how I wish it was this time tomorrow,but before then there is a hell to live through.

I think that I must be tired so shall go now for hot shower. Please,if you can,spare a thought for Pa tomorrow and if you pray,please remember him in your prayers. The odds are stacked against him so he needs all the help he can get. Bless you,love Avie.
