Thanks. The siblings and I are trying to support each other and their kids as much as possible.

I will be making sure that I have as little contact with her as possible, and none once the funeral is over. She's hard work and I don't need the hassle - after all I'm only related to her while he's alive....

Ok, really. We'd been expecting it since his first stroke, so it wasn't a total shock. I'd been told by his wife that I wasn't allowed to visit him at home a couple of months back, for a couple of reasons, so I wasn't expecting to see him alive again, and that came to pass.

Done

He should be discharged today. I'm not quite sure he's ready, but there's Covid on the ward, and stepmother is having none of that

Thank you

I always thought it was fair game tbh. How does she tell if you're tired or bored?

Marry him

One cat is on my pillow. The other in the bathroom sink. It is blissful!

Classy bird! 😉
