Okay, I KNOW I've been a bit off the ball and very grumpy for the last couple of months, so I apologise.
Plus, the following, I haven't even told Diane (I'm so sorry Diane, you are a true friend and I know we share pretty much everything, so I'm sorry).
My father-in-law (who is like a dad to me) has been extremely ill for a few months, stage 4 lung cancer, and it's been a massive struggle for our entire family.
Dave finally passed away on Wednesday August 7th, so at least he's at peace now.
However, I know it is still unacceptable of me to have been the way I have for the last couple of months.
I apologise to you all, SORRY!!
Obviously, we have a few things to sort out now, but I promise I will be more like more "old self" from now on.
So, hopefully you will SOON notice me being far more active and helpful (and hopefully less grumpy) from now on.
Thank you all for your patience with me and your understanding.
No need to apologized partha, I liked your ranting! 🥺 apologies for dad passing.
I lost the last of my grand parents a week behind my birthday and on the same day as my birthday this year. Granny Ruth.
It tore me a part earlier this year back in January. My Birthday was on the 14th (Sunday) she passed on the 21st (Sunday).
I found myself snapping at my coworkers and family. I really had to sit down with myself and do a hard inward look. So, I totally understand how you feel. I still haven’t gotten past grandma yet.
Looking to speak with a grief counselor, in next few months. I found myself exceedingly angrier and I need to deal with it.
Keep your head up partha as we say in the U.S., take all the time you need. We will still be here to hear all your wisdom.
Hi Partha. I am just reading this now. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your famil. Please extend deepest condolences to your wife and family
My apologies to all for not following through for the last month has been irritating the hell out of me, but it all pales in comparison.
Partha, my condolences to you and your family. The pain we feel is a direct reflection of the love that we have. The pain will eventually subside, even though it does not feel like it today, and all that will remain are the loving memories that we cherish.
