I only found this group last week after my Dad was admitted to hospital to have a P.E.G, sadly he never came home .....He developed cold sepsis at the site of the PEG and deteriorated very rapidly ......The hospital kept him comfortable with Morphine then he asked us to tell them to stop all antibiotic treatment , he had had enough ......we had no choice but to let him go ........He held on for 26 hours taking a breath every 20-30 seconds , he had lost so much weight before the PEG was inserted we somehow knew any infection would kill him
He was diagnosed 17 months ago and died on Sunday 12th november at 10am .....
So to my father ..Michael Gummer ...you were a beautiful man who didn't deserve such suffering ....Dad I love you
I would like to share a poem with you , that I had the good fortune of sharing with my Dad before he passed .......My Dad was a man of little religious faith , but hopefully this brought him some peace .
Look God I have never spoken to you ,
But now I want to say "How do you do"
You see god they told me you didn't exist.
And like a fool I believed all of this .
Last night from a shell hole I saw your sky .
I figured right then they had told me a lie
Had I taken time to see things you made,
I'd have known they weren't calling a spade a spade
I wonder ,god would you shake my hand.
Somehow I feel you will understand.
Funny I had to come to this hellishplace
Before I had time to see your face.
Well I guess there isn't much more to say ,
But I'm sure glad god , I met you today.
I guess the zero hour will soon be here ,
But I'm not afraid since I know you're near
The signal well God .I'll have to go .
I like you lot's and I want you to know.
Look , now this will be ahorrible fight
Who knows ,I may come to your house tonight.
Though I wasn't friendly to you before,
I wonder , God if you'd wait at the door.
Look I'm crying .Me shedding tears
I wish I'd known you these many years.
Well I have to go now ,God , Goodbye
Strange , since I met you I'm not afraid to die
