I haven’t had a lot to say here for one reason or another.
Sadly, my Dad died on Monday past at 2.00PM. He was very, very weak after 4 weeks of illness.
A serious chest infection just proved too much. My mother and I were there at the end and it was a very traumatic experience, but it’s such a comfort to us now that he’s not suffering anymore. I can't put this into words...
Over the last few months, as I’ve looked through the messages posted here, I’ve been touched and dismayed by the severe trials so many are going through. Forums like this aren’t like hobby-related forums because here there are so many serious issues to deal with. It’s so important. We can learn and share, although I haven’t really shared that much directly. I've found that so very difficult.
Life is so hard to understand. Sometimes we are taken to the very edge of all we have within us to endure.
On the day my Dad was buried my wife, who had breast cancer 3 years ago, discovered a lump on her leg. She goes for tests on Tuesday. So, like so many in this world, we must go on and on through our trials, coping as best we can un til the end comes for us too. I’m so thankful we’re not alone in all of this.
I sincerely hope that those here who have so many heavy burdens will have others at hand to love and care. If not, I know there are those here on the forum who are truly sensitive to the needs of others.
Bye,
Sam
