Au Revoir
No, not from me, you don't get rid of me that easily ;)
It's my dad. He died. He wasn't even 60 and he died in the early hours of last Saturday morning, hence my absence and my silence.
I'd write something more than this but I currently don't have the time to say enough about him, but I'll make sure I do as a tribute to a great father.
I've been busy running the boss's business for two weeks as well, so it's been a bit busy to say the least... and with the funeral in just over a week's time we decided to honour our holiday arrangements and go to Italy, to Rome for a few days... God knows we need it!
It's been a funny old year, what with Becky's brother dying, stepmum #1 getting breast cancer, stepmum #1's father (my step-grandfather, if that's a real term) dying, and now my father too.
*sigh*
But the show must go on, and us Brits are a hardy lot, so if I don't visit you or see you for a bit, I apologise, but you know everything's OK. OK?
Love you all :*

I can't imagine what this might mean to you or how you might be feeling. But I do know my grief and the pain of bereavement, so you have many and much hugs and understandings from that place. Don't forget to allow your feelings to be.
Hugs, did I mention the hugs, be strong! Or be weak. You know, be what you have to.
Sorry, mate.

Mimey: Hey mate, thanks for that :)
Life's kind of surreal right now, so it's a case of taking everything a day at a time... and the amazing thing is that there's a big hole where a wonderful person once was and a glut of people rushing into the void, all proving they're just as wonderful and yet, in the kindest of ways, never quite being the same as the unique & missing one...
Thank you. And hugs as good as you give.

Was thinking you were laying low for a while. So sorry to hear that, Lever.
Not even 60, that is so young considering you're no spring chicken yourself.
You definitely deserve a break away just to relax, and reflect and stare off into space.
Thinking of you and yours.

I'm so sorry to hear the news :(.
Sending my love from across the pond.
BTW, I think you described your feelings perfectly with:

Sorry to hear about your Dad. It gets easier, but it takes time.
Apologies too for again missing out on the news due to my crazy schedule.
