Thanks for your sympathies, thoughts, blessings & condolencies guys.
I appreaciate it. I was a bit lost this morning.
It was a relief realy that for him it is now over. The last couple of weeks were pretty rough.
We all have to deal with this type of loss in life ,it is part of it.
Although we had are differences for many years, we did understand each other eventualy.
He was 82, a good age for any of us & had always been quite serious, His parents died when he was 12 & he went off to Burma at 16 to fight the Japanese & ended up in the 23rd Indian brigade long range penetration group a part of the Chindits, He told me the other day he never thought he would live to get out of the jungle back then.
He talked about the stuff he had never spoken of before to me,, It had weighed on him all these years. At least we had that opportunity. He thought it all had to stay in the jungle.
We are all ok,Glad its over, it will be strange for my mother though, shes tough but shes 72 and has never spent a day in her life alone before.
Perhaps its a new beginging for her.
cheers,
Spiral

We knew by the time zone what space you were in, Spiral. I'm glad your father is in peace now.
My Father in Law, a good guy who always liked me, ( I enter people who like me into a special book of mercy that God undoubtedly looks at later) died after wasting away from Colon cancer. He was out of it and in intense pain. His caretaker stole his meds, left him lying on the bed in his own juices, and while she was at it, took my wife's identity along with her.
A real good girl, that one.
Anyway, he was so out of it, that when he went it was a relief also.

Man, Spiral, I am so sorry to hear this. I really am.
I'm glad you recognized that his suffering is over now. I know you will miss him. Please find comfort in knowing that some day you and all your loved ones will be reunited.
I'll say a prayer of blessing for your dad, for you, and all your loved ones.

. May God Bless.
This thread has made me think. My own father isn't getting any younger and he has invited me for a game of lawn bowling. I think I will take him up on the offer.
Thanks for posting, I have been busy at work and wouldn't have gone for a game if I hadn't read this. My best wishes to you and your family.
