Just been to visit my 85 y/o uncle dad on his deathbed, he may make christmas day, may not. Nurses are saying hours not days. Early stage dementia & prostate cancer , diagnosed 5 years ago but still epicly sh1tty to see him unconcious between awakening just in time for some hallucinations . I was lucky enough to have been raised by my aunty and uncle from very young, god only knows where id be if they hadn't of stepped up and taken me in. I count him as a dad, I get on really well with him and my birth father, but this stills feels like watching a parent die. Its said the first 5 years heavily influence who you become in later life, I owe him so much. Enjoy your family this christmas people, you never know how many you have left with them.
