LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently. Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too. So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week. Gah. I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago. Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up. And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer... oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy. He confirmed it was probably viral and threw a heap of meds (not ABs)
Condolences on the sad loss of your dad Jack.

Lynne,
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies at your sad loss. Even when there has been a slow decline, even when we can say "it was a good life, well lived", it's still a wrench to lose one we love. May Jack's memory burn brightly, and recollections of good times shared bring you joy.
i understand completely. we lost my dad 4 years ago, and he was a bit younger than yours. he was 75. it was sudden. he had a stroke on may 22, and passed away on june 4. you will feel odd and disconnected. and you will hurt. you will cry. i still do on occasion. as i tell my children, he's still in our hearts. i tell my oldest son to look in the mirror when he misses grandpa. he's the spitting image. you will find your own way, but you will remember.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynne. I am so, so sorry. All my thoughts and hopes and prayers and voodoo candles are for you tonight, and please know you have a friend way on the other side of the earth who is pushing the very best karma your way.
ReplyDeleteYou're lovely. And I am very sorry for your loss.
My deepest sympathies my friend. I'm so sorry for your loss.

You will feel a little odd for a while and there will always be that empty spot in your heart, I know, I lost my mum 4 years ago aged 59, so a big hug goes out to you from me.
