Terminally-ill market trader 'overwhelmed' as hospital grants his dying wish

Tears in my eyes - may you rest in peace and thanks to those that made your dying wish come true.

I know how good I feel around my lovely Clydesdale mare - and as I am getting on I do worry what will happen to her if I go before her. At the moment I just can't decide who to will her to - will they sell her or keep her to the end of her days and love her as I do. I hope that when my time comes there will be friends around me who will grant my last wish with such caring.
 
Another one with tears! God Rest you, Mr. Thorpe, I am so glad you were able to say goodbye to your old friend, Ben. How lovely such compassion was shown to this poor man,well done all concerned. Beautiful and touching picture, what a stunning Shire. RIP.
 
What a wonderful gesture - hopefully he passed away more settled, knowing that his horses were ok. I can't believe some people have left offensive comments on the comments board of the newspaper website - where has respect and compassion gone?
 
Lovely and sad at the same time. I hope that eased his passing and he went in relative peace.

And a huge thumbs up for the NHS which so often get a slagging but is actually the thing that makes me the proudest that I am British.
 
how lovely the hospital allowed that. This story has touched me on a personal note today so thanks for sharing.

ETA Jesstickle I agree, I have had plenty of cause for complaint of the NHS over the years but this year, on several occasions, I have been overwhelmed and humbled by just how good they are when you really need them.
