I echo Joanne's post.

I'll pray for him as I believe in prayer and the Soveriegn Power who listens. I also pray that you'll find comfort as you go through this as his care giver.

Hi guys, thought I'd just update you all and again, ask for additional prayers. My Dad is on a good combination of pain relief and is sleeping a lot. He is in a side room on the ENT ward and they won't move him to a hospice so as not to distress him. We've all been spending lots of time with him and his 2 sisters made it over from Canada and Scotland respectively which I know he so appreciates. His favourire karaoke partypiece is Blueberry Hill by Fats domino and I printed out the lyrics and sang it to him last night. He even found the strength to clap - a truly special memory for me now. He has days if that so please pray for a quick, peaceful and painless transition for him. He says he is ready to go and I know my gran and grandad will welcome him to the other side. He promised to look over us all until we meet again.

Warm wishes to you all and I'll keep you posted

P.s thanks for your support and well wishes everyone.

I love you forever Dad

Keep strong Julie and cherish the next few days.Thinking of you and your brave father.

Hi Julie, sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he passes peacefully. The Blueberry Hill song sounds like it will stay with you as a very special memory. Sorry again. Hagg.

Julie

So sorry to hear your news about your dad. It is good you are able to spend time with him and he has seen his sisters. The good memories will always be there. Your love for each other shines through.

Thinking of you both.

Julie,

From your "handle" Prayingfordad, and request for prayers, I'll assume we share a similar faith in God.

I liken the "transition" to be one of closing your eyes in death, to open them in the presence of the Lord.

I pray for your comfort as you go through this with your dad.....he's a real music lover it seems.

blessings on you and your family,

My Dad passed away peacefully at hospital in the early hours of Friday. He had been unconscious for about 24hrs prior to that so we take comfort from knowing that his transition was a painless one. We will miss him terribly but know he is no longer suffering. I understand that we'll be reunited when each of our times come, but until then I feel him so closeby. I'll fulfill my dreams on Dad's behalf and plan to raise much money for charity in his honour. We love you dearly Dad, rest well.

Thank you again for your kindness everyone, my best to each one of you.

Dear Prayingfordad

I am sorry to hear that your father has passed away. It is hard to loose a parent and and there is little I can say to make your loss more bearable. Mouth cancer is such a wicked, cruel disease. It causes much suffering and life as a survivor is never easy. Your father will now have some peace and suffer no more.

I hope that the edge of the sharp pain and grief that you and the family are feeling now will be dulled by remembering positively and celebrating the life Dad shared with all of you. As you feel him with you, he will feel your love and prayers. So be proud to be his loving and caring daughter, as he will be as proud in being your father.

Please convey my sympathies to your mum and all the family.

Best wishes
Vinod

I am so sad to hear your news. I won't even try to understand what you are going through. Please accept my love and sympathy for your loss.

Also, please stay in touch with this board as you may be able to help others who are going through what you have.

Sorry to hear the news Prayingfordad, at least his suffering is over. My thoughts are with you. Hagg.

Your dad's pain has gone now. At peace at last. Thinking of you and your family.
