Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey Evelyn, Seems to be something in the stars at the moment. My Dad died on the 7th Sept at 4.45AM one day before his 97th bithday. Pavorotti the day before, and Antita Roddick very sadly a few days later. In the case of my Dad, I am not upset as he wanted out and said he did not want to make another birthday, so he got his wish. He did want to die at home but was too ill to move from the nursing home. At least my mother was with him till the afternoon and I was there till 8PM,so although we were not present at his death, he did know we were around. We got to him just 15 minutes after he went. I was proud of my Dad as he was one of those who worked damned hard on keeping us all safe. He worked on weapons most of his life from tanks in the last war to nukes until he retired. I don't care what anyone of the ban the bomb mob says, I truly believe that both the UK and USA having such weapons kept enemies away from our doors during those cold war years and may still do in some respects. Dad survived a heavy dose of radiation and smoking a pipe all his life till two years ago, and remarkably did not die of cancer. What is important is to archive family information so future generations know what their ancestors did. Sadly something that has left us in our modern society, although more primitive societies still keep up that fine oral tradition. I hope you soon get over the grieving process. Mine is being helped by knowing my Dad wanted to go, so that makes my grieving far less.
