So the update is that he is now in the main hospital in the city where I live which is much easier for me to visit him. He isn't travelling well, and we don't know how long he's got with us.
The Dr's are trying to keep the pain away but it's proving to be difficult for them and my dad.
Dad still has his sense of humour, and he said to me two days ago, "I tried to die last night, but I couldn't"!
The Tamar River (indigenous name: kanamaluka) is a 70-kilometre (43-mile) with the mouth being at Low Head which goes into Bass Strait. Tasmania.
The River is very near our small city, and one can walk beside the river, take a cruise or dine at the eating houses near by.
I took these photos just before sunset on a calm winter's day and was lucky to get a reasonable reflection.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt is all so very stressful for you at the moment with your father. However, at least now he is closer to you for visiting, so we hope that eases the difficulties a little at least.
The photographs are so very peaceful and calming. Just what is needed in your life at the moment. Do not forget to take care of yourself too.
Thank you for your kind words and concern. It's appreciated, and I will take time out for myself.
DeleteOh my dear friend M I wish I could hug you and tell you it will be OK, I am glad he is near you now so you can spend more time with him. He is funny that is what you need to remember.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful place and wonderful photos. Take care my friend. xoxox hugs lots of hugs. Grace
Thank you G. I will remember his funny side :) Hugs M xx
DeleteIt's very important your dad is at your place you can visit him as often as you want. Your dad is a great man because in his terminal condition he has a good sense of humour. I am with you and your dad although I am far away. God Bless you. Take care in the most difficult period of your life. Hugs. Gosia
ReplyDeleteYes, amazing sense of humour for an old man, however some days he's crabby which is to be expected.
DeleteThank you also.
A prayer has been said for your dad and for you too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections in the photos!
Thank you Beth :)
DeleteI'm glad your dad has been moved nearby so you can spend this time together. And I hope his pain will be managed well. Such beautiful, serene reflections on that lovely river.
ReplyDeleteIt's much better him being closer and I don't know how long it will be for though.
DeleteThanks re his pain..
It's a nice river when the tide is in.
It's good the hospital is close, I knew a guy who's dad had a heart attack and it was about 100 miles away. So he kept driving back and forth for several days.
ReplyDeleteIt is Adam, it's only 10 minutes away.
DeleteThat would be a drag travelling everyday that far. But you do what you have to do.
Remembering you and your father in prayer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these awesome pictures. Such gorgeous reflections.
Thank you...:)
DeleteContinuing prayers for you and your father. Lovely reflection photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you. .
ReplyDeleteThose who live here must be Happy !
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely of you to say that, it is lovely to live there :)
DeleteMy prayers although maybe different religion, but I pray for you !
ReplyDeleteThank you. A prayer is a prayer regardless of which religion :)
DeleteGlad to hear that your dad is closer now. Sorry that he is in pain but what a champ to be able to joke at a time like this. It is an awful disease. Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. Dads medication has been changed, so will see how he responds.
DeleteGreat shots of the reflections and the beautiful River.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Lovely when the tide is in. :)
