Only time will tell. I saw the golden edges on the clouds as Don was driving me to visit my dad in hospital and felt compelled to try and shoot it through the dirty windscreen with my cell. Don't normally go at night because it is a long way and not really safe for me to get back to the car parked somewhere in the dark, but I had to go as I don't know if Dad would make it through the night. It's been a week of tears and uncertainty and I'm feeling quite shattered by now
@narayani He was complaining of chest pain - it seemed to become very severe as he said he felt like he was being kicked in the chest by a horse. And he couldn't lift his left arm, so I thought it might be a heart attack and took him to Casualty. They said it wasn't a heart attack but severe pneumonia and then they said kidney infection as well. He has deteriorated very rapidly with hallucinations and confusion. They had to restrain him for his own safety. Very cruel to see him tied down and struggling against the restraints, and confused. Now going into renal failure. Dr has just phoned a short while ago to say he called in a urologist and they think it might be bladder cancer. Has been a very traumatic week for Mom and I. I feel very fragile at the moment. No time nor inclination to even take my camera out of its bag.

Thank you everyone for all the support and comments. My father still looks terrible, is very weak and barely speaking, but he is still with us. Perhaps it is not meant to be the end yet after all? Time will tell. He does have a Living Will so there won't be active resuscitation if things start shutting down, but they have him on oxygen and a drip of antibiotics and nutrients...
