The Ocean Rooms Beauty at Hythe Marina Our Dad Michael David Terrill, known to many as Mick, at age 76 sadly passed away on 3rd February 2026 and was a ‘Watersider’ all his life. He was well known as a Plumber and Pipe Fitter having spent many years working in Esso, Fawley Refinery, Monsanto, ISR… My sister Tracey and I are fundraising for the Elderly Ward at Southampton General Hospital in honour of our late father, the unforgettable, irreplaceable Michael David Terrill, known to many as Mick. Dad was a brave, humble man. He never asked for much, and he always stood up for others. But in his final days, he had one simple request: “Stay by my side and hold my hands girls.” To fulfil that wish, we spent almost two full days living in the G5 ward. For many families, it can be even longer. What we quickly discovered is that the ward receives very little charitable funding. There are no visitor rooms, no foldout beds, nowhere for loved ones to sleep while keeping vigil beside someone they love. During those long hours, it became clear how much visitors and families depend on support while their loved ones are in hospital. The Elderly Ward at Southampton General was under real pressure, and staff were visibly stretched, constantly moving between urgent needs and complex situations. They did what they could to look after Dad and to check in on us. So when faced with an impossible choice, let Dad die alone or sleep on the cold, hard floor of the hospital ward, we chose the floor! Three rough hours of ‘rest’ on concrete was all our bodies would allow, but it was enough to keep going. As night two approached, Tracey and I found ourselves quietly debating who would try to sleep on the floor again. We were exhausted, bruised and aching, but we were both prepared to do it. We held his hands. We said goodbye. He looked at us, proud as ever, and said, “Good girls.” But as we stayed by his side, we noticed something that broke our hearts: not everyone on that ward had someone with them. And some families who wanted to stay simply couldn’t because the facilities made it nearly impossible. That’s why we’re raising funds in Dad’s name for the Elderly Ward so that visitors can stay more comfortably and fold out beds can be provided as well as other much needed supplies.
