Hi Ally I hope you arecoming out of it now, its another step on the way I guess. I havn’t been back since mums funeral in May 24 . Will have to go back to complete on the house sale . I spoke to my sister today she is very angry, I avoid calls as things will be said and there is no point. Left me totally at a loss just getting by.

Oh no, that’s the last thing you need - family conflict.
My mum just sent me a photo of my cat, chilling on my dad’s bed . My dad was wonderful to Bonnie. The first time I went away, I devised a rota for feeding - it was shared between my dad and my next door neighbour. But my dad ignored the rota and did all of the feeds himself 
. And any time I went away, he would voluntarily sit with Bonnie and keep her company, with the radio or TV on as well.
She only moved into my parents’ house after we’d lost my dad, so she didn’t know that that’s where he lived, but I wonder whether she knows, like from his scent. My dad was a friend to all of the animals .
