Dad is going back to the hospice.

Hi all
Sadly Dad s time at home has come to an end. He spent 5 days in St Gemma s Hospice in Leeds last week and I took him home on Saturday.
He has had lots of palliative care support this week but now realises nice as it was to get home for a bit but he needs to come back for good and is going into the hospice in the morning.
The hospice is a lovely bright sunny place full of lovely friendly and highly professional people who made Dad unbelievably comfortable and controlled his symptoms.It also has the most fabulous award winning in full bloom garden which he has a balcony to sit on to view.
We all got together on Saturday/ Sunday and had a happy family time and sorted out some important stuff which was very important to him and he said goodbye to Mum.
Graham is bringing him down in the morning.
It is a terribly sad time but St Gemma is a lovely place where he is safe and comfortable and wants to be and we are all glad he near one of us rather than on his own in Fife.
