Yeah, they're troopers, and don't want fuss. Someone told me once that however much you worry about your parents, it's their journey - they met, got married, had kids together, had a life - it's not actually my responsibility to micromanage them. They've got this, like they've had all the other things in their life. That was immensely liberating for me. I'll be on the same journey before too long. Of course I'll be around when he takes his last (I hope) but logically, as Dad said, we've said all our goodbyes before when we thought he was dying last time. There's nothing that needs to be said. That's also pretty cool. Not a lot of people get that.
