Dad

In the early hours of Tuesday morning last week I was called to my Dad, he was complaining of experiencing the exact same pain , that he had 11 years earlier when he suffered a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was transferred by ambulance to the vascular centre at Bradford Royal Infirmary, where the decision was made that he would be unable to survive the surgery required. He was transferred to our local hospice, the wonderful Kirkwood in Huddersfield, with us all knowing we had a few days at the most. He passed away peacefully on Saturday morning with myself and my sister at his side. We are heartbroken, he was the most wonderful parent anyone could ask for. Our only comfort is that he is now reunited with our Mother .
