Mine also Rose.......she was my best friend and I enjoyed being so close to her in the last couple of years of her life...my Dad died suddenly in 04 and I looked after Mum from that day onwards.
Best job I've ever done.

Looking after a Beloved parent .....even unto death......is more rewarding than any money for employment.

Pennies in Heaven indeed.

Hi Anne, similar thing really...I had done a two year diploma course as a mature student , had a place at Aberystwyth Uni...American Studies...with the chance to spend a year in the US as an exchange student (I would have LOVED that).

Looked after my mum so 'let it go'...but as you say, don't regret it at all...just one of those things...and if that 'dream' has gone then maybe another? lol

I know what you mean Rose. I was a mature student half way through a college course and on a work placement, I was then offered a job there too. My 82 year old dad's health started to decline, without a seconds hesitation I left to look after him. We didn't know at the time he had cancer, but I treasure all that extra time I had with him. I don't have any regrets or 'if only' because me and my dad said everything we needed to.

He was so lovely my dad. When they told him at the hospital that he had cancer, he just sighed and said "well, I'm nearly 82 I've got to die of something." Strong to the end.
