Reason for not attending Proserpine.

[RETIRED]

Not wanting to hijack Proserpine thread so I will put it here.


care to share?I left on the Sunday Night to go to Proserpine and got to Tocumwal.

I received a phone call from my Mum that my Dad had just passed away. He has been in an aged care facility for 2 years after a massive stroke had left him paralysed.

So I went back home to help attend to a few things.

I know how you feel mate having had one of those phone calls 26 years back now about my Dad. I dread the day that I'll get another one, you know it will come but you still really aren't prepared for it.

never an easy time take care

[chambezio]

It's that phone call that you are not expecting that brings you undone no matter how prepared we think we are for it. Mate you have a life time of memories with him so he is never far away. In my case Dad had had a number of strokes that took his speech so for a number of years he could not communicate. So in effect we lost him years before he actually checked out.
All the best to you and the family in this awkward time.
