Sorry to hear that Chief, glad you seem to be taking a good outlook and got some real closure as well though
Kind of been on the horizon since the turn of the year but was very quick in the end. I went up on the day it became apparent and once I got there he threw the towel in, was a matter of hours after that. At home. Was a bit detached and matter of fact about it at the time, was not straightforward to compute at all. The week after wasn't that bad, last week was utter ****e from the minute I woke up on Monday morning to when I got home on Wednesday night and turned my work phone off. Yesterday wasn't anywhere near as bad as I imagined it would be and this morning was like a big ****ing black cloud had lifted. Well, that was yesterday afternoon really.
Feel ok this morning despite drinking too much, had a good night out in Cardiff which was a surprise.
Beautiful spring day. Mini football this morning, will mow the front lawn this afternoon and then cricket later. Time to get the back garden sit in able as well.
Need garden furniture. Only got a wooden bench, the rattan ****e finally died a death last year. Will have to make a purchase.
The Slovakian football team were in the same hotel as me last night, should have done the fire alarm at 3am.
I know the feeling. My mum died suddenly last year. Ok, she was getting on and I suppose you can’t be entirely surprised. It’s still a hammer blow to the gut when it happens though. My brother and I had to go through her flat and sort out all her belongings. Not easy to do!
Emptying my mum's house was one of the most heart breaking things I have ever had to do ... the memories were like knives to the soul ... but it was also cathartic in many ways
