Many of you learned our sad news of Sai passing away yesterday morning.This will probably be the last posting on Sai's blog now and I am doing this as I know for sure that Sai will be saying to me from above-be strong,do the blog.He is here,all around me and that's what is holding things together.
- Sai started to deteriorate on Wednesday and it wasn't easy to see the man you love going through that.Sai was determined as you know and that was what got him this far.I stayed over on Wed night and slept on a chair beside him..My mum took the boys out of school on Friday and our friend Jude brought them over to the hospice.I'm so glad that happenend as they got time to spend with their dad.Although very weak Sai was awake for spells.A few other friends came by as well as Father Michael our local priest here-we aren't catholic which isn't important,we have known Fr Michael for a few years.Dr Higgins the consultant at the hospice (and Tallaght) spoke with the boys.He truly is a great doctor-has all the right qualities for that proffession which you don't always see.
Jordan and I stayed over on Thursday night.Sai's breathing started to change but he was being well looked after by the nurse Anne who was on duty.He was made as comfortable as possible and i kept an eye on him too and kept telling him I loved him.I had been told that hearing is the always there and is the last thing to go.In the morning I got a shower along in the visitors area as did Jordan after me.I am just so grateful that we were both with Sai when he passed away.The nurse on duty knew that Sai was leaving us soon and got Jordan back to the room.She is a lovely nurse and was going to stay in the room but i asked if she could please leave-Sai passed away a few minutes later just after 9 30am.I feel Sai all around and he is keeping me strong.
A friend was on the way with my mum and the boys so they arrived a little while after.We all had a few tears but it was lovely to be there with Sai for a few hours.He looked at peace and no longer suffering with all that he has gone through.
I told Sai a couple of weeks ago that whatever happened he would be at home again so that is what we have decided.Sai will be coming home on Sunday afternoon and the funeral will be on Tuesday 2pm at Mount Jerome Cremitorium,Harolds Cross,Dublin.
I would like everyone to bring a single flower(or one per family or couple) with them-no wreaths please and money can be donated to the hospice if wished.
I can't praise the hospice at Harold,s Cross (Our Lady's) enough,the staff are like angels and I'm so glad Sai was there in his final week.
My heart isn't breaking at the moment as I feel that has happened already .Someone close to me was told by a woman who did not know Sai had passed away that there was someone waiting to meet Sai.I truly believe that.Sai is all around me and I know he will be happier if I can be strong so I will do my best and have strength in knowing that Sai was loved and had many friends in Intel and elsewhere.God Bless.
