Dad was the bravest man in the world. We embarked on a journey that started in April a journey that would change our lives forever, this journey ended on 17th August 2014. Dad was not 100% and we were struggling to work out what was wrong so we decided to go to the GP who started the ball rolling - we had to attend numerous appointments to try and eliminate and establish what was wrong with dad. We had blood tests, chest xrays, Needle tests, MRI and CT scans in between all these appointments dad was deteriorating without a diagnosis this was difficult to watch however my dad, the bravest man in the world, did not complain once even after being poked and prodded and prodded and poked and having the 2 most important females in his life, being mum and I, telling him what to do. After a journey of tests we got a diagnosis on 19th May and final prognosis on 30th May 2014 which was not good news and dad was diagnosed as being terminally ill with GBM IV we were given a few months and again the brave man that was my dad never complained. We were spared 79 hard hard hands on care days with dad.We made special memories every day and how we managed it I have no idea well actually I do because dad was so brave then so we had to be too, dont get me wrong we did have our tears - quite a lot of them - and we did use some choice language which on some occasions was hilarious and I know at some point I will look back and have a laugh again but its not time yet. I kept a diary of every day we had with dad and it was only his last 6 days of life he was bedridden and it was a tag team at his bedside between mum, my brother, my husband and myself, dad was never left on his own at any point day or night. Dad was fortunate to have a brave and strong family at his side as he was at home right till the end. I love, respect and admire my dad and his bravery and attitude to his illness was truly amazing. He is my rock and lives in my heart. I know my guide is no longer there in person but I still think to myself when I am struggling "What would dad do?" Forever xxx
