We have Canadian brother-in-law staying. He had been here in Feb when Great-Grandad was not as bad since the appendicitis had not happened yet. He didn’t make it before the death but had kind of said goodbye then. This time he is not escaping a Canadian winter but a summer! Luckily our modern home is quite warm.<br /> I went back to work today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www-for-sombre-family-event#post-2390115 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 01:01:33 +0000 Echo 2390115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am so sorry to hear. But what a long life to pass at 94, and to have been married for 68+ years! He sounds like he was a wonderful man who led a good life. Wishing you peace and strength in this difficult time, and to your DH, too. It is never easy to lose a parent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www-for-sombre-family-event#post-2390114 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 01:00:18 +0000 slim cat 2390114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss - always hard to say "Goodbye" to our closest family members.

It really was a relief of suffering in the end. He had come through the appendix surgery so well but the op site broke down and he got peritonitis, which required open surgery with a washout. Then a second stroke happened during that time causing near blindness. Then a multi-resistant bladder infection in May I think. Stabilised during June so we felt OK to go on the Queensland holiday for his daughter’s 60th. Got a call 3.30 am in Australia the day we were leaving to say he had been admitted to hospital with pneumonia We got back and he survived another 72 hours.<br /> So this is father-in-law. I knew him for 40 years, since we started dating in 1985. He had been married to his now 88 year old wife for 68.5 years.<br /> Thought I would show you what we both wore to the funeral.<br /> I had 3 choices of dress. The other 2 are black-and-white patterns. Neil liked this one the best so I was happy to wear it.<br /> Funeral was yesterday. We are doing OK. A long life well lived.<br /> The beautiful circular flower arrangement came from my sister in England, and the other one from one of Neil’s staff members. There was also a bouquet from my work. People are kind. </p>
