My brother, his pregnant wife, my uncle (dad's brother) and aunt, DD and SIL left on Wednesday morning, and my sister and her children left on Thursday after lunch (she had to work that evening). WM and I were going to leave on Saturday but the forecast temperature was 43*C (109*F) so we decided to wait and come home on Sunday (which was still very hot until we were fairly close to home). It's going to be a tough few days for mum but she'll get through it.
As for me, the whole thing seems quite surreal and there a lot of tears left to be shed. So, thanks once again, I truly appreciate your support and prayers.
And now, dad's spirit is in heaven with his Lord and Saviour and his earthly body rests among the hills and in the valley which he loved and to which he chose to retire.

Love you, dad.
Oh such a beautiful view.
ReplyDeletePlease take the time to grieve and heal.
For exercise.. phfft... How can someone with CFS exercise. Getting the energy to do the basics is hard enough.
Wishing you and yours all the strength you need
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne

Look after yourself.

i'm glad you're home; I'm glad he's buried where he loved to be. That's all we can ask.
ReplyDeleteBe very patient with yourself, blogfriend. Grief takes time to be processed; listen to it. The scenery is just spectacular; what a nice place to think of for your Dad's earthly remains...just a springboard of the beauty where he now resides! Rest in peace.
