So, my dad has rapidly deteriorated this weekend. He looks an absolute wreck.. really pale and ill.. not good at all.
He was emailing around today cancelling work and is going to speak with people and is seriously considering early retirement. I'm absolutely gutted for him, but at the same time im not suprised, as he has done extremely well to work as much as he has in his career considering he's had four operations and stuff.
There are people with much less severe chrones than my dad who stopped work long ago. I have much sympathy for them, but hearing about them makes me completely proud of my dad.
Considering his condition he's done extremely well and i have increasing respect for him because of it. No matter what decision he makes i am 100% behind him, and he's my dad so i love him to bits whether he works or not.
We'll be looked after as he has a good pension plan but he must be feeling really down about the whole thing getting on top of him after all these years, and he's supposed to be the providing male of the family and etc. but it makes no difference to me if he is or not.
All i wish for him is hapiness.

Igor I would also back your dad to the hilt,
None of you'll are going to wilt,
If he goes in for early retirement,
He can still lead a life full of contentment,
All along he has given his flesh and blood,
And has worked all along like a young full blooded stud,
He needs some well deserved rest,
As he has passed many a scathing test,
And done better than his very best
He should be awarded with a crest.
