Leonard And Joan Morgan

Also our Mum Joan Morgan, reunited with Dad on 25th May 2008.
RIP Mum and Dad

Our dad was a wonderful man, he had 5 children, Janet, Ian, Alec, Christine and Melanie. 11
grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

SADLY DAD PASSED AWAY ON THE 16.6.05

We noticed dad losing weight about Christmas 2004 it was the second week in may 2005 when Mel went
around to do some cleaning and noticed dad didnt seem right the next day Mel phoned the doctor and
the doctor came out ,Mel phoned to say they were waiting for the ambulance.

when dad got tho the hospital they done xrays and tests and finally that night they told us he had
pneumonia and they had put a drip on him with some strong antibiotics in it. and said that he will
be fine

so we were relieved, but a couple of days later the doctor said they wanted to do an MRI scan on
him.

we waited over a week for the results of the scan, we thought if they found anything wrong they
would let us know, then one afternoon when me and Mel were visiting dad the doctor came in and said
to dad "I'll take your daughters into the office they want to know the results of your scan".

so off we went into the office with the doctor, well talk about being blunt, the doctor come
straight out with " your dads riddled with cancer ". I went numb, I could see the doctors mouth
moving but i couldn't hear anything, then Mel asked the dreaded question, " how long has he got "
then quite bluntly the doctor said "2 weeks you'll be lucky if he lasts a month" well we just cried
and cried, we told the doctor we didnt want dad to know how long he had , we couldnt go back into
the ward to see dad the state we were in so we went outside the hospital and phoned our brother
Alec, Christine was on holiday but we phoned her to let her know, and dad had a twin brother who
lived in wales and we let him know.

me and mel pulled ourselfs together a bit and went back up to the ward to see dad it was so hard to
walk back into the ward the doctor was with dad so dad knew by the time we came in that he had
cancer .i said i had to go and mel came down with me ,mels husband was bringing our mum to visit
dad she didnt know the results. i stayed at the hospital down stairs mum turned up and mel had to
act as normal in front of mum they went up to see dad and mel had to tell mum as dad couldnt, mum
couldnt take it in .

the next day dad said he wanted to come home so we moved his bed downstairs and got his room ready
and then we brought him home, then on the saturday his brother came down and they said their last
goodbyes, what a sad day that was.

from that day dad got weeker, he kept saying i know the pain is there but i cant feel it. me mel and
christine were with him every day, we used to leave about 9 oclock every night after giving him his
tablets then after we had gone ian would put him to bed then we would return about 9 in the morning
still not thinking the doctor was right with his dates. then on the wednesday night he said " i
think i will go and have a nice bath " but he couldn't lift hes head off the pillow so i gave him a
nice wash and mel massaged his feet then we tucked him into bed and said goodnight, he thanked us
for all we had done for him and we went home. i went to bed that night and couldn't rest i said to
my husband i should be with him but if i went back over there that time of night dad would have
wondered what was the matter, so i thought no ill go over in the morning,

I got up early that day and thought ill pop down the local shop quick then go over to dad, while i
was in the shop my mobile rang it was mum she said we cant wake ya dad, my heart stopped i said ill
be over in a minute, i popped home first then all of a sudden my phone rang it was the macmillan
nurse to say dad was gone.

that was 13 days after the doctor had told us he had 2 weeks to live.

that was the day our world fell apart
ps: i told mel on that day at the hospital when we were told the bad news, that i might be the
eldest but im not the strongest. i'd just like to say I love you so much mel without you i could
never of got through it like i did without you.

MUM slowly went down hill from that day, eventuly she ended up at no fault of ours in a residential
home in september 2007, she made friends there but we knew in our minds that she didnt like it
there.
Then on 23rd may 2008 the residential home called for ambulance to take her to hospital with a
stomach bug. she was extremely dehidrated and it turned out to be a very serious urin infection,she
deteriated very fast within a day and had laboured breathing and went into a semi coma. and then
peacefuly passed away at 7:30 am on 25th may 2008 to be with dad.
She is happy now and they are together again.
