Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

Such was the rallying cry of Henry V according to Shakespeare. And it is once more unto the breach for my Dad. He is in hospital next Tuesday for an operation. After the health problems he has had this year, and the visits to the hospital, he won’t be looking forward to this (who would ?), as he knows there will be some pain and discomfort afterwards, and that it will take some time to make a full recovery.

I saw him and my Mum yesterday. I thought my Dad looked as well as he has this year, and seemed quite sprightly. So, all things considered he is at least in as good as health as could be expected before going into the op. Mum looks after him well, and it showed.

He will be in our prayers and thoughts over the coming weeks, and especially on Tuesday.
