    I took some of his cds in to play to him. His favourite Pink Floyd track was 'Time' and this did elicit a smile. His favourite Eagles song was 'Lyin' Eyes'. When I played this he started groaning and I realised he was trying to sing along. I cried, am crying now.

    But what I take from this is how much music meant to him and how much it means to me. And how much joy it can bring. I hope somewhere Glenn is singing his favourite line to him 'She is headed for the cheating side of town'.

    I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing, SS. I lost my dad years ago and your post brought tears.
    I believe music is such a gift. It can bring diverse people together, bring recall of sweet memories, and bring joy in even the worst of times. It also is a tremendous healer of hearts, and I pray it helps heal you and your family.

    My heart goes out to you and your family. What a sad time. At least the music was able to bring you together. Prayers.

    So sorry for the loss of your father, SS. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I know how hard it is to loose your parents, but they will always live in you forever.

    We were just talking about song power in another thread ... music is truly powerful.

    SS, my thoughts are with you. Losing a parent is hard even when you have time to prepare for it.

She had been adamant for a long time that she wanted to remain at home even though the family felt that a Nursing Home would be more appropriate. Shortly after I returned from Vets Aid it became too much for her and as she was declining further we had to admit her to hospital where she remained until the new year when a Nursing Home place became vacant for her. Once there we were hoping that she would recuperate a bit and enjoy a bit of TLC but unfortunately she developed a nymber of infections which refused to go away and late last Sunday noght (2nd February) she passed away peacefully. While we are all obviously sad at her passing we are grateful for the time we had with her and happy that she is now reunited with our Dad, the man she married 62 years ago tomorrow.

    So sorry for your loss, GA. Take care of yourself.

    Thanks, everyone for your sympathy. It's his birthday next week so we're going to visit him - he's buried in natural woodland site. Bluebells and ancient woodland.
