My lovely Dad died today, so sad to lose him

My darling, darling father collapsed at home at 1pm today, was air lifted to hospital but was dead by the time he got there. Mum says all the paramedics, doctors, etc., were just fantastic and did everything they could.

I guess it's the best way to go - so quickly, but so hard for us to lose him so suddenly. He had kidney failure last year and made a brillant recovery. Think it was his heart, but there needs to be an autopsy.

My poor Mum, they just celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary and they were so hoping they would make it to 50

It's been a bit of a bad few months tbh...well, 4 months ago DD2 was born which was obviously brillant, but it's been pretty crap since then.

Wish I was closed to Mum so I could just pop over there, but I need to get childcare arranged because I know Mum couldn't face DD1 asking where Grandpa is (and I don't think I could either).

Bollocks.

RiP my lovely Dad, I will miss you more than you would ever know. I hope you are in a happy place xxxxxxxxx

rinders so glad the funeral went "well" - and i have no doubt your dds already look at you both like that, you are also a remarkable woman my lovely!
and to chipmonkey - my dad was a chef and I do that All The Time... you wouldn't believe the number of times i've actually lifted the phone to ask him why something tastes weird...i suppose it's the legacy they leave us though - we'd never learn enough from them even if we had the time back again, i'm sure of it
