Thank you all so much for your wishes and hugs
Sadly I've just had a call from Mum and Dad died during the night - a year to the day since Phil went to theatre.......
I've told Phil to look after him (or 'Phylis' as my Dad called him) so hopefully they're chatting over a whisky or two
I've not told Eve yet...I'm going to put my 'work head' on, get her to school and tell her this evening when I've been to see Mum
