nursing my father through the night, his last in 2007, I tried to wipe his bottom, but it was too sore and his last ever words were to yell at me, in German (he'd forgotten that, for the past 64 years, English had been his first language) "du bose Hexe" "You wicked witch!"

Thank you, John, for all you have done to show us so much and write so well ...

I love reading the story of your Dad (I followed him beforehand) and now your story. Keep writing John it makes a difference.
