I think the fact that my last post was mid September speaks volumes on how busy my life has been. I don't think I've ever mentioned on here, in fact I know I never, because I didn't anywhere.. Or to many people that matter, that in April last year my Dad was diagnosed with incurable advanced stomach cancer.
He underwent harsh chemotherapy that shrunk it by 50% giving him abit longer to live non the less.. or so we thought.
Not that long after my last post my Dads health deteriorated quickly. The cancer had grown back with a vengeance and spread to his bowels. A hospital bed among other things was set up in my front room and before long he was 100% bed bound. With the two kids at my side, other than when I went to work, I cared for him 24/7. He became my priority. I was his rock but no more than he was mine.
On the morning of the 31st January, after sitting up with him all night. I watched as he unexpectedly to everyone else, but not to me, passed away. So since then I've been pretty wrapped up in sorting out everything that goes along with that. And moving on top of it.. Yes, I forgot to blog about one of the biggest life updates that there is...we bought our first family house! So this post is to prepare any readers that I have left that things may be a bit more 'parent lifestyle' from here on in.
