This blog is dedicated to the last 74 days of my dads life, spent in hospital in 2006.

This was an incredibly difficult time for my entire family, and I don't think we realised exactly how difficult until it was over.

I kept a diary during this time - what started as just a simple record of each day, eventually became a desperate prayer and pleading for my father's recovery.

Consisting mostly of my diary entries (in italics). I will also add in emails that were sent and received (in courier), as well as my current feelings (in regular case) looking back at the events that passed. I hope that by sharing my reflection of the events two years on, this will become part of my healing process.
