Glad things weren't that bad, and yeah, the what if starts going through your head. Mrs. Chow's dad was 91 when he died and I got to say, every time the phone rang past 8 or 9 at night we'd sort jump, we just don't get many calls in the evening, so you have a tendency to sort of subconsciously start to expect bad news as parents get older.
Yeah, it sucks, but gravity wins at some point, we all get older. I know I have a much differing views of life and death now at 46 than I did at 26. It's just how things go, I wished I knew then what I know now, famous words, but true.
Your views and understanding of how shyt works changes a lot from the 20's to 40's... possibly more than any other time, but I guess we'll know for sure as we get older if that's true.
Sorry to hear that sea
But yes it's just unreal he even gave me a shout this morning to get up for work and within 20 mins of being there I get the call.... He's 54 by the way.
As he's coming home tmrw after work I'm gonna see him then I'll have a good drink up afterwards for certain.
LC, I'm sorry that your Dad is ill but I am thrilled he did not have a stroke and we wish him quick and uncomplicated healing.
