Talk and Cakes

Mum and Dad's neighbour has been very generously baking cakes and treats for Mum and Dad over the past few months. Quite independently this morning Dad cheekily said we were overdue a visit from the neighbour. As if by magic, she later appeared with a plate of chocolate brownies and scones. Yum. Dad has since been asleep. He has been very quiet today and only eaten the yoghurt we gave him for breakfast. He has complained more definitely of pain in his head today, so has had four spoons of morphine so far. This morning Dad was talking about 'going away' and being 'almost there' which alarmed Mum as she remembers Grandpa doing the same shortly before he died. Grandpa was lucid to the end though, whereas Dad's mental capacity is obviously impaired, so maybe he means nothing by it.
