RIPs

My condolences too, Uncle Ump.

I lost my father two years ago to a chest infection (don't let anyone tell you the flu jab is completely safe) and my mother is currently in the late stages of kidney failure (kidney function down to 6%). What with that and the diabetes, heart disease, immobility and blindness, we've been expecting the worst since Christmas.

Take care of yourself Ump. I appreciate how difficult things are for you right now.

Sincere condolences - that is very sad news.

Thoughts with you as well, Worldshown.

I was there three years ago. My father passed away three years ago almost to the day. It all started with a fall in the garden and an operation one year later. He had to endure physiotherapy for a year because they didn't diagnose a broken hip. He went in for the operation and the rest was, well, sheer hell. Multiple organ failure, another break of the joint, infection. There are few mercies when someone leaves us. All we can hope for is a painless end.

(Sorry guys for such a depressing addition to this thread.)

My own mother died 7 years ago next week - again not sudden, but it's always too soon. I think of her quite a bit, but especially when I see the daffodils coming through.

Sincere condolences Unc Ump.

Hope you can keep as positive as you can Worldshown.

Hey Unc, sorry to hear for your loss. I lost my dad to lung cance about 18 years ago. He was exposed to asbestos where he worked. Now, yesterday, I lost my brother but not sure of the details yet. He would have been 65yrs old in August (Richard Ward Crites 1944 - 2009)

Really sorry to hear that, Will.
Hope you're holding up.

Thanks for the words all. There are somethings that may never go answered. But things have to go forward.
