My Dad passed away during the early hours of January 20th, 2022. Dad was such a strong man, a real “Tank” that just wouldn’t stop. Now he resides in Heaven with my Mom. I know she came for him. He was truly devastated after my Mom’s passing. We all were, but Dad lost his partner of 50 years. He spent the last two years caring for her. He cleaned the house, cooked dinners, did laundry & before he gave up his license at 90, he also did all the grocery shopping.. He did everything he could to keep my Mom comfortable. I used to love listening to him talk to my Mom after she passed, and once he was settled in bed every night. He would say “Goodnight love, miss you”. It sometimes made me tear up, I’m tearing up now. I admire him in so many ways, but most of all how he treated Mom. The one consolation for me is that he has finally joined my Mother which was his biggest wish. I am grateful that he got all his wishes. He died at home, he died peacefully, and he wasn’t alone, those were his other wishes. I was there with him at the end. He died in my arms. I will so miss taking care of him. I loved it. I have been with him every day and night since my Mom was admitted to the hospital on May 2nd, 2021. I lovingly made his breakfast, lunch and dinner for him every day and along with everything and anything else he needed. I know he died very proud of me because he constantly told me how good a son I was, and said I don’t know what I’d do without you. I told him I could never repay him for all he did for me. He actually taught me to read when I was barely 5 years old. I miss watching tv with him all the time. I will miss his humor and wit, I am already missing everything. The house is so mty without his presence. My heart is broken. I’ve lost both of my parents now. They lived an incredible life though, right up to 92 years old. It’s just that no matter how prepared you are, it’s always a shock, because we think our parents are invincible and therefore will live forever.
Rest In Peace Dad, say hi to Mom for me. ❤️🙏❤️

You have no idea how much I love and miss you. We were a real team together these past 7 months, keeping each other company, laughing and joking, breaking bread together, and reminiscing about Mom. We got each other through that incredibly difficult time together. I want you to know that I cherished every second we spent together Dad. You were a pleasure to take care of, and it was an honor for me in so many ways. You were no trouble at all, even though you thought you were. Im going to miss our dinners out, trips to both our Doctors appointments, all the dinners we ate and all the TV shows we watched together. I’m going to miss watching Three’s Company, Everyone Loves Raymond, The Andy Griffith Show, and all those Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies we watched over and over together. I’m glad I was with you in those final moments, that you didn’t die alone, and that you were home the entire time, no hospitals and like I said never and no way was I going to put you in a home.
You were the best Dad I could have ever possibly asked for. I remember like it was yesterday when you taught me to read at 5 years old, and the first time I was able to call you Dad when you married Mom in 1976. Please don’t ever stop looking over me, and know that I am so looking forward to seeing you and Mom again. You were both the most incredible parents a son could have. I’m missing you both terribly, but I know you are much happier now that you’re both together again. I have comfort in knowing that I now have the best Guardian Angels watching over me and your Grandchildren. With Great Admiration, Love, Respect, and Affection,
Your loving son, Dig. Xx ❤️

Frank, may you rest in peace with your beloved Di. I have such fond memories of you, hopefully you will be with many long lost friends, maybe even sitting in the “Red Lion”. Rest assured that whilst Digby is heartbroken he will have the support of his friends and family to help him through this sad time. You will be in our hearts forever.
