I'm so sorry my dear, to have that a ray of hope of the operation taken away is so awful. I'm pleased you got the chance to tell your dad how much you love him and what a great dad he's been, I'm sure he knew you were there.

It sounds like the nursing staff are lovely, I think the fact that they still speak to your dad shows respect to him and I'm glad they are being kind to your mum.

I've lost both my parents, my mum just two and a half years ago, so I know what you're going through.I'm thinking of you all right now and sending you a big hug.
