It's only natural we grieve our Parents Milo, and you will keep on grieving for the rest of your life. I do. My Dad died at 82 in 1989 and my Mum at 93 in 2009. I think about them regularly. It's a process that will continue. You never really get over it...

 Very true words but you will come to terms with it eventually.

my nan died at age 94... I was not upset about it as it was a great innings...


she outlived my dad.. 70
my pop, 74
her son, my uncle.. 55
I've also lost of late two of my cousins who were aged 45 and 49
countless friends and work colleges I've lost through cancer..

so the way I see it.. anyone who reaches at least 70 has done really well..
anyone who's reached 80.. Congratulation... !!!

anyone who's reached 85 give yourself a pat on the back...

and anyone who's reached 90 then I dips my lid to you and I celerbrate your life.. smile

and that's the way I felt about my nana.. I was not sad.. I felt glad.. what a great innings.. the stories she could tell were amazing to us kids.. she was born in 1914.. took a horse and cart to school.. incredible..

 

so I say to you.. celebrate your fathers great innings...

 

cheers pop...

You were a good son Milo and I am sure he was very proud of you.

He was a remarkable man.
