Hi guys, Many of you won’t know my dad, he’s currently on his second internment in Kings Lynn hospital, this year, but this time it’s very serious. He has fluid on the heart and it’s not draining, so it’s possibly surgery and we’ve been told to expect the worst. My dads 82 now, lifelong rangers fan, as was his father, and he passed the baton to myself and my son. Saw all the greats at rangers, went to white city, Wembley 4 times inc the playoff final. Is registered disabled and hasn’t been to HQ for 18 or so years do to health and costs / transport. He’s slightly Parkinson’s as well so every thing he says to me is about rangers for about 10 minutes then he’s on again about the same thing for 10 mins etc etc. Loves the hoops, but I’m afraid (and in tears as I write this) the next couple of days will be his last hurrah. He’s got the last few ‘kick up the rrrrsssss’ by his bedside, and I’m out to see him in hospital tomorrow if he sees the night through. Not sure what I’ll do without my dad, but for now, i’ll get by. Could I ask that if you can spare a minute, give a thought for him, in hospital. He’s not a religious chap, except when he remembers Stan on the Ball, or Dave Thomas on the wing, and how we cheered when we humbled Cologne in the Eufa cup, and neither am I, but I so want the miracle of another few years with him and will be praying tonight. Thank you. Dave | |
