Gail and her mother and brother had all spent time with him in his last few days, although I, Bertie, was not allowed.
My very important role just now is to be available for cuddles and to ensure Gail is regularly walked.
I am sure my blog friends will understand if I'm not visiting too often over the next couple of weeks.

I'm so sorry, Gail. Your father was, in my eyes, at least, a true hero, someone who helped keep the free world truly free in the Battle of Britain, and obviously a fine man to have raised such a wonderful daughter. Thank you for sharing him with us so that we could know him a little bit, too. He will be missed.
