Last few weeks have not been good
Lost my old dad on July 9th. He was a month short of 99y/o. Thankfully he passed with almost no pain, his body just started to fail. He had a stroke 8 weeks ago, he had 10 days in hospital, 4 weeks in a rehabilitation centre then 10 days in a care facility. He just slowly faded out but was alert and happy right up to the last 24 hours.
He lived with us for the past 2 years, I am especially grateful to my wife for the loving care she gave my Dad.
Dad was a WW11 veteran. He flew Wellington bombers in Coastal Command looking for U-boats. He met my mother in England, the married in 1945 and were married for 77 years. My mother survives him.
And not to make light of my Dads passing, a week before he passed our faithful Kelpie (14 y/o), suffered a seizure and we had to have him put down.
So not a good few weeks here.
Ian
