Dotti 34

I have had some sad news from Dotti 34(although I know her as Dorothy) this morning.
Dotti lost her husband, her soulmate and best friend this morning.

Keith had been diagnosed with lung cancer more than a year ago.
He had some chemotherapy but that was soon abandoned.( he thought they were trying to kill him off)

For quite a while he was what the medics call 'stable'.
However recently, he has been in hospital while they tried to get a very nasty infection under control.

Yesterday, it was Keith and Dorothy's 62nd wedding anniversary.
They had a bedside party, with the best whisky, songs, music and jokes.
All the family were there....to make sure it was a good 'do'.
This was just how Keith wanted it.
Once the party was over it was just the two of them...holding hands.
He slipped away without fuss.

I am sure that the Accyweb family will want to offer their condolences...so I am posting this with Dorothy's approval.

Rest in Peace Keith.
Dorothy, I send you and your family my sincere condolences.
 
Thank you, Margaret, for posting this for me and for your kind words throughout Keith's latest and final battle. They have meant a lot. I am also posting a blog as the final one in the story of Keith's journey since being diagnosed with cancer.
 
Sorry for your loss, if there's a good way to go it sounds like that's exactly what you gave your husband, he sounds a very brave man
