Andi, thanks for sharing an update with us, but I'm so sad to hear the news.
It sounds like your grandmother had a long, full life, but these days it seems shocking to lose someone at 65, like you did your father. For goodness' sakes, I'm 65 (until a week from today) and I don't expect to be nearing the end, but I guess we never know. The advice you gave is very wise, and I hope you can hold onto good, happy memories of those who have died even as you're grieving them.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing, Andi. And of your grandmother's passing as well.
My condolences to you and your family.

Hey guys... I´m back after some time.

And of couse with some news from my life that are not as great as they could be. My Granny died on 17th June (92 years old) this year - my first wedding day with me and my wife.
We bought her house from my uncle. What a great thing - we thought. Everything was fine... I was busy with renovating the house and doing all the things we had to do for a good home for me and my wife and son.

... and then came 30th Novembre this year ... and my beloved Dad died at the age of 65 years.

25 years too early in my opinion.

It was a tough year and we hope of 2018 as a better year.

It is all still unbelievable... as he was healthy. Goodbye my beloved father, beloved husband and grandfather.

In the time before Christmas - hug your Beloved Ones and tell them that you love them. Time is too short and life ends at some point.

Good to see you here Andi, but very sorry to hear the sad news, I know you were very close to your dad :( Sincere condolences my friend :thumbsup:
 
Andi Thinking about you my friend, the loss of your father is I know a shattering blow. I do think it is great that you can start a new life by continuing to live in your gran's former house, I'm sure she and your father would like that and it gives hope for the future.

All the very best, Will
 
WELCOME BACK, Andi! It truly is good to see you posting again.

Of course, I wish it would have been with better news.
 
Andi, sorry to read of your losses. I also lost my father this year. It hurts, it sucks, and there is no reasoning for it.

My condolences on the passing of your loved ones.
 
My condolences on your losses, Andi.
And to you, glennbad.

Hang in there, Randy, we'll be here when you get back.
 
Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

It still is not really touchable neither for me nor my Ma und Wife. He left a big hole that can´t be filled.
 
My condolences Andi. We don't know each other except from BF but you put it just like I feel. There is a big hole in the world.

I had a year like this in 2000, my father and several long time friends passed in a short period, it sure takes a lot to get through. I found that it helped me to focus on births and new life, prayer and staying busy.
 
On a much more banal note, the block I live in in town has just decided to carry out a pipe renovation just prior to Christmas & New Year...It is needed though but I hoped they would wait until January (-18c then:eek:) It involves cameras down the pipes in the sewers, coating the pipes with some horrible smelling plastic material, stinks like burning plastic BARF:poop: Then there's something else....

More problems were discovered, I get home to find my bathrom sink has gone, the toilet itself vanished and some machine down the 'hole':eek: no water in the kitchen and the sinks full of maxhinery. So no toilet for 3 days, no running water at all can't even make coffee/tea hence no cooking and this burning plastic reek everywhere. My floor can use the basement sauna and one WC but I can't face communal life like thato_Oo_O Good job I've got elsewhere to go otherwise I'd be on the streets or hanging around beer joints all day:D:D Off to the country place tonight to flee the scene, hope they remember to put the toilet back!:D;)

The knives don't like it much either, at least they tell me so:)
 
Great timing, Will!:eek: I hope you enjoy the country place - at least you have an alternative! - sheeeesh!!!:mad:

My youngest son was born at home, in 1981.
We were due for a new sewer connection - waited months for the City to show up, and there they were unloading a Jackhammer at 6:30 A.M. just outside the window where my wife was in labour!!:eek: I went out in my torn bathrobe and slippers, and chased them away!!:mad: I guess they saw no percentage in dealing with a madman, because they quickly packed up and left!!!:D
Dave was born at 7:15 or so!!:) Now he's a new Dad with a 3 month old beautiful boy!:thumbsup:
