My thoughts are with you sue, in this difficult time. My father in law is also in the same place as your beloved. Remember to take your zip lock baggies with you as you support him. Having been through the devastating fires in my town last year, I know that craft is very important in times of stress, and you must be strong and therefore look after yourself. As with most of the people I see or meet via TQS you seem to be a very down to earth, lovely person and we will miss you at this time, but we would not want you to take your focus from him in any way. Hoping for a positive outcome.
