The bond between a grandparent and a grandchild is so special. And maybe the granddad-granddaughter bond most of all. My dad is currently in hospital (that's the family thing I have going on) - he has maybe days left, weeks at best. My niece lives nearby and she is there every day, feeding him, sitting with him, love shining out of her face. Stopping now or I'll be in the same state as you were... xx

Oh bloody hell... I'm so sorry <3

I think I've re-opened a wound with this post... closer to tears more than I would usually be - at just about anything sad.

I'm so sorry for your situation. Nothing I could say would alleviate that :(

Thanks darl. I'm fairly calm about it for now, as we just have no idea how things will go. Though of course it will be different when the time comes. Although saying goodbye to a parent is something we all have to do, is anyone ever ready for it? Sorry that your wound has been so reopened too. <3
