Really sorry for your loss David. Just read this now and its shaken me.
I cant comprehend what you and your family will be going through and I truly hope that you have all the support around you that you need.
My daughter is 15. I just rang her and wished her a good day at school. Im sure she is a bit puzzled by the call but Im not.
Take care.

Walking up the hill tonight on the way home from work, I see this kid I know heading toward me. My first thought is, phuck, I don't need this now, comeon Sam, cut me a break.
The "kid", Sam is late 30's and he and all his brothers are........NQR is the best way I can describe it. It's some genetic intellectual disability thing, I may have been told the name of it once but I forget. They all look fine, no physical signs like Down Syndrome, but they're impacted.
Sam and his older brother are good kids, I bump into them every now and then. Sam always runs the same repertoire past me. have I seen his dad lately, hows gav (my step son) and a couple of other standard lines, I tell him to look after himself and we go on our way.
This time was different. I said G'Day Sam waiting for the standard lines but this time he goes "my dad's dying"
Well, that threw me out. I like his Dad, see him around and have a chat whenever we bump into each other, little older than me, blue collar bloke with his own business (with a partner) and just a nice bloke who has a lot more coin than he looks like cos he's just unpretentious.
Apparently in Royal Melbourne (Sam only knew it was the hospital in the city) for the last week, bleeding on the brain and on life support. When I said I hoped he was OK, Sam just looked at me and said "he's not coming home, he's going to die there"
I think the bugger was waiting there for me, and I felt like a right cnut for thinking how I could duck or shortcut the conversation

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
