I think the Giggalo has ceased to view so I feel I can post again.
It is my position not to post if it can't be the unvarnished truth. That's not fair.
Very sad news, aged pa died last week and I think my very damaged heart is now completely broken. The loss is unbearable, aged pa was a wonderful and loving man. Before he died he made peace with everyone and said goodbye. His poor body finally failed on him at 97 years old and he was driving until 3 weeks before he died. His mind, as sharp as a tack until the day before.
I love my aged pa so much. Glam sis is also grieving as is clever nephew.
Clever nephew came to stay for 12 months, but his work takes him to a new location, so he has a new home.
I started a degree in law in September, although I haven't done as much studying as I need because of aged pa being so ill. He comes first.
The big house is on the market but no bites.
Would Job kindly link this thread to my old one for me please.

Little yellow house sittin' on a hill That is where he lived That is where he died Every Sunday morning Hear the weeping willows cry Three children born A beautiful wife Four walls and livin's all he needed in life Always giving, never asking back I wish I had a simple love like that I want a simple love like that Always giving, never askin' back For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back I hope I had a simple love like that My mama was his only little girl If he'd had the money, he'd have given her the world Sittin' on the front porch, together they would sing Oh, how I long to hear that harmony I want a simple love like that Always giving, never askin' back For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back I hope I had a simple love like that I want a simple love like that Always giving, never askin' back For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back I hope I had a simple love like that Songwriters: Sarah Siskind

Oh V, how glad I am to see you post. You have been on my mind and heart. I'm so terribly sorry about the loss of your pa. Much love and hugs from Molly and me.

I am so sorry to read about your aged pa. He sounds like he was a wonderful man and he loved you too. I hope that the memories that you have of him bring you much comfort in the days ahead.
BTW, I'm glad you've returned to post. We have missed you!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
V, thank you for allowing us to be with you and for sharing with us. We all care for you deeply.
I love that he was driving a car and sharp as a tack through it all. My great uncle was like that. He used to say "I'm going to live to be 100!" as he drove his manual transmission Mini Cooper around. Brilliant man, east coaster. Loved scrabble and boggle. We played once and he was reading the words he found and he said "Stowah". And I was like "What is Stowah? How do you spell that?" And he said "S, T, O, Ahwa, E". Then I realized he meant 'store' and that 'Ahwa' was 'R'.
Keep posting if you want and know we are here for you V.

So sorry, Vanilla. Will be thinking of you and your family. It seems grief is no respecter of persons or time, and will inflict the already broken-hearted. (((V)))
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
