Please help understand illegible writing my dad made on his deathbed .

[kerstina]

If I posted the photos of diary entries can you help me . I have worked some of it out . Mom originally thought he took to his bed after lifting something heavy but it looks like he coughed up blood and had pain in his back .

Oh didn't see your mums called Dot, it could be Dot rather than Doc.

Do you think the last bit could be no hanging about Brian good tears at funeral

Pic 3
No hanging about bron
Good news on Friday?

Yes for pic 3

Last pic says "Dot looking after me... Something... Look after her" .

1. Felt really rough coughing up blood doesn't look good. Keeping to mainly liquid food, cornflakes, X apple and ice cream. Dot looking after letters when home the (rotary?) look after her

Sorry, that was end of 2nd pic

Yes.
Good tears at funeral

"Funny start today.
Had coffee, cornflakes and plenty of fruit for breakfast."

(first paragraph of first page)

"Felt really rough coughing up blood doesn't look good. Keeping mainly to liquid food, cornflakes...."

(Second page -first part)

No hanging about Brian, good News on Nurse

Mainly to liquid food. Cornflakes and the odd bit of ice cream'

Last one may say
No memory about Dad or Bab ?
Good teams on xxx

Does that help ?

First pic last line I know think says

‘Emotional thinking....

Long shot but could your name be the last word of pic one?

Emotional thinking lots of (x)

Forgot to say he always wrote in capitals I am not sure why . I don't think it's my name . My name starts with A my sons name starts with E

His d’s and s’s are really distinctive

First pic - ending many .... can

Pic 1

return when —- are —- last night

Pic 3
(Can’t really make out much there)

There are certain letters that are quite consistent, like Fs and you can discount certain letters too, it just takes time to go through.
I think the P in ‘up’ is useful to compare when he said “coughing up blood” - it’s not ‘and’ because it’s all in capitals.
The E is not always clear, or when a word ends in a T
I don’t think it’s ‘emergency suffering’ because that doesn’t look like his other Fs, I think it’s a P or possibly a B.

And I don’t think the last line of pic 3 is ‘good tears at funeral’ because it’s not at, its ‘on’ and I don’t think it looks like funeral either.

Hope that helps.

I think the last one says

No hanging about Brian
Good tears on farewell

I think the first line of the last picture looks like "No thoughts about .." - can't make out the last word, maybe Death?

Could be 'no moping about Brian'
Good news from nurse.

Dot looking out for return in her dreams and be for my last wishes hers.
End of page 2!

No hanging about Brian. Good....

Thank you so much all . I know I should let this go really but I just have a need to try and piece it together .
