Mixture of emotions today. Dad came round for a bit in the afternoon and was talking to me for quite a bit.

Tina came and he had a lovely moment with her telling her how much she's gone through and how strong she was and what a lovely woman she is. He was saying god bless you to her and clasping her hand. 

Afterwards he was asking me how long it will take before he gets better. I was saying that I didn't know but reassuring him that he has lots of medication to help him relax and stop him being in pain. 

He told me how much he loved me and Natalie and how proud he was of how strong I'd been despite everything I'd been through. He said he'd never have got through everything if it wasn't for me. 

He said to the nurse that he was one of the most intelligent people she'd ever meet apart from me. 

After that he slept and slept but seemed very peaceful.
