‘You’re free to sit with her, of course.’ Sally finished her examination and straightened up. ‘But it’s probably best not to disturb her.’ ‘I won’t.’ ‘There’s water on the table if she wakes and wants it.’ She pointed to the bed rail. ‘And if there are any problems, there’s a call button there.’ ‘Thank you,’ I said. She closed the door behind her as she left. And then silence.
I never got to speak with my Dad before he died, in fact I wasn’t able to have any time with him alone either and it all came as a shock that I don’t think I will ever get over, grief & pissed off shouldn’t be in the same train of thought, but sadly it says it perfectly. No one will ever read this note, but in the chance of anyone actually looking at it, don’t waste the chance to spend time with people, it’s a missed opportunity to enrich both of your lives that you can never have again.
