Thanks guys, long night hopefully not too long now, thankfully they have a guest bedroom and they are unbelievably kind. But the sooner they allow a ‘just get it over with’ needle the better. Morphine is good but once their eyes roll back just let them go.
With lockdown they don’t want too much movement or going in and out. I went gone for a quick shower last night and now I’m just waiting. Feel like I could sleep for a week! Cheers xx _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

So I held dads hand as he slipped away at 9.40. The staff were amazing. I made the calls and arrange collection, cleaned out his room apart from the trailer stuff, as I loaded the last stuff into the car I looked up and a bunch of pelicans were coming towards me, I adore pelicans I go looking for them! I stopped and looked up and the formed a perfect cross as they went over my head, I shit you not!! I did good

I hope that is a relief, of sorts, for you, TP. Sorry for your loss and understand how conflicted you are.
I would love to see the pelican shots in due course.
When you have time, go to the St Leonard's boat ramp, near the fish-cleaning facility - there's a group of pelicans there, or close nearby, most days. |

You did do good Jo, really good.
Don't push to hard to get everything done in a hurry, take some time just for you to sit down and reflect. Allow yourself to grieve, be angry, whatever, just allow yourself to be. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Fathers day coming up Jo. Grab some American Honey and have a drink to your Dad, for at least making you possible. I will do the same for my Dad although it will be Thai rum.
You are strong and will get through it. At least you get to a funeral which is more than I was allowed to do, thanks Cow Andrews _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

God me again!!
i just looked at facebook for the first time today, while waiting at the supermarket counter, bad idea! one of my fellow photographers in a group im in died last night of Pacreatic cancer, she went into hospital just a couple of weeks ago, went home friday for the day, she just took a bad turn. such a beautiful encouraging gentle soul. about my age. shes hasnt been allowed visitors and now just as things ease, Shes gone. I didnt even know she was sick. She put a beautiful comment on my pic just a week ago. RIP Robyn, you will be so very missed. I was blessed to know you xxx Fly honey, into those beautiful starry night shots you used to take. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |
