Intermission

The blog will be quiet for a while. My dad has died, released from his dementia at last.

    My condolences Chris. I've not commented on your blog before but have followed it and your genrous postins religiously, and that includes your touching accounts of your relationship with your Father and his diminishing health. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    My condolences. I've been following for a while, but haven't ever commented.

    Having recently lost a parent myself, I know no words are ever right or enough. May you find peace through this difficult time.

    With sympathies Chris.

    I haven't commented before. It can be odd, this internet thing, that can be about information rather than human emotion. Your postings about your father, though, changed all that. My thoughts are with you and your family, sorry for your loss.

    I have been very touched by how you have written about your Dads illness, and am thinking of you and yours. Look after yourself and try to get some rest. I'm sure it's an exhausting time on every level. God bless you and all you do. I feel sure you've been a great son and will be a support to your mum this week

    Chris, I've yet to lose a parent, much less in such an emotionally draining manner, but I'm going to take a wild guess that it really sucks ass.

    I'm sorry for your loss.
