Hard to write….I ‘m sitting next to Derek’s bed in hospital , its 1.55am palliative care room, my son and daughters are with me,have been all the time trying to snooze but really only pretending, Derek was brought in on Tuesday, too weak for operation that might not work anyway..
.We agreed, no machines, no resuscitation..
..Bless him !!!! …..
He’s placed himself top of the list, his own Arountuit List, ( longstanding joke in our family and he has his own little placque) he’ll go when he’s ready and not before ….


Derek passed away at 5am…..
