Hand hold please - on train trying to rush to London to get to my dad before he dies

[africanantelope]

Dad had a heart attack on Friday night, heart was not beating on and off for 2 and a half hours :( he had surgery but brain damage is bad and meds are no longer keeping him alive. Because of covid and having 3 kids I wasn't sure I'd be able to get to see him. I'm now on my way hoping I make it in time, we're weren't allowed in the hospital until we had the call. I just wish I'd come earlier but I don't drive and knew I'd be frozen just waiting outside. Also was told it could be hours days or weeks. I'm so angry at myself and just hope I make it in time. He was only 66 and healthy. Hand hold please lovely mumneters this train really isn't moving fast enough

I’m so sorry

@africanantelope I remember flying up the motorway one morning desperately trying to get to my dad in time.

I feel so much empathy for you, o really am so sorry. Good luck Op

So sorry OP. Hope you make in time, safely 💐

You poor darling girl. Speedy journey and sending you a lot of virtual love.

Thinking of you and hoping you get there in time

I truly hope you get there to see your dad. I had a very similar situation, the 5hr journey on the train was truly horrendous. Hugs from me

my very best wishes to you and your dad, OP.

Praying that you get to your dad in time to spend some time with him.

Be with him in spirit now, from wherever you are.

Whether you arrive in time or not, it was all the years of your life with him that mattered to your dad - not just the last 5 minutes. He'll know how hard you tried on this journey.

Wishing you speedy trains and no traffic. x

So sorry thinking of you and hope you get there in time

Oh OP, I'm so sorry you are losing your dad. I hope you make it in time but please, don't best yourself up if you don't. Its all the years before now that you've loved him that are the most important and he won't forget. Sending best wishes ❤

Hand hold

Hope you make it OP

So sorry OP

Wishing you a safe and speedy journey. Thinking of you

Love to all the family. Holding you in the light x

I hope there is someone on the train to talk to. We are all on your shoulder.

Oh flips op, I’m so sorry. I hope you get there in time op. Sending you strength and speed

Thinking of you OP and imagining clear roads

Godspeed to your father, and blessings to you, OP.

Like many other posters on this thread, I’ve made that journey. Flying up the M1 in my little MG Metro!

Managed to get a speeding ticket as well.

I had twelve hours holding my mother’s hand and am forever thankful. Please God you make it. 💞

Thinking of you,
