Hi Jaybro

What a heartbreaking situation. 

So sorry x x 

Just my opinion....I think I’d go ahead and just ask your Dad about this xx such as, “enough chatter from me...what about you...? ...is there anything you want to say or talk about? You can talk about anything with me” xx 

He might not feel he needs to say anything...but at least you’ll be able to say to yourself that you had given him this prompt...permission to talk about anything he wants xx heartbreaking xx I hope you’re doing as well as you can and that your dad is comfortable xx 

Thank you so much for your reply. I know it sounds silly but I just couldn't find the words to start the conversation but your suggestion was just perfect. It has really helped me and I'm so grateful to you. Thank you again x

No worries, Jaybro. It doesn’t sound silly at all x when you’re feeling so overwhelmed it can be difficult to think with a clear head x 

these days are so precious...now is the time to have those conversations. You’re so brave to have done that. 

I hope you’re managing ok and that your Dad is comfortable x 

I am so sad and been crying while reading this post.

I would like to suggest that what ever your dad says he wants to be done write it down in a book. Any stories  he wants to share or even if he has any other children  etc that are not known to you ( my best friends father died and her step family was discovered later, but luckly they all live together now).

Also try and make many home videos. 

I hope God makes it easy for you. Xx
