It must of been a comfort to him for you to be there. Sounds like you've had a tough spell but are managing to get through thaYeah, I understand the problems about keeping in touch with planet earth. Still, it's always grand to hear from you, Kate.
The loss was hard to take, particularly as we'd only managed to trace him because his social worker insisted on him answering my sister's mail before he went into sheltered housing to get him away from drink. In the couple of years since I last saw him, he'd slipped into deep dementia and wasn't eating at all.
Shortly after my visit he started eating again, and we spent a lot of time together, both at his flat and in hospital. That time was so valuable that I can never quantify it; sometimes we'd talk, though his lucidity ebbed and flowed. Other times, we'd just look into each others eyes until he went into this silent laugh.
His last words to me were 'fuck off'. :D
I loved that man. I went a bit manic during and afterwards, but I got stabilised on 1000mg lithium.
Thank you it's nice to pass by

That sounds tough, it cant of been easy to deal with that and everything else health wise. Glad to hear you have stabilised on the meds, long may that last for you!
Could you please delete my name thanks.
