Sorry for my absence.

[Cibach]

Hello all, I know I have been absent from the forum for a number of weeks now, but am now able to return.
It has been a hard and sad time for my family as we have spent the last 3 weeks at my father's bedside. The ordeal is now over as he passed away yesterday morning.
He was 90 and had a very full and wonderful life.
It is a great comfort to me that we were all there with him throughout his last days and able to be with him as he passed.
It is truly a privilege to be his daughter and to have been able to spend these last weeks with him all his waking hours.
We are all exhausted, but also relieved that his suffering is over and that in the end, his passing was peaceful and comfortable and full of love.
I now hope we can all return to "normal" everyday life, comforted in knowing that we did our best for him ( something that he thanked us for many times throughout the weeks) and in the hope that we can live our lives as well as he lived his.
