I will be away

jaibyrd's picture

jaibyrd — Sun, 03/01/2009 - 20:02

My father had a hemoratic stroke on Friday or Saturday and was found Saturday morning.  He was taken off life support Saturday at 3 pm.  At present he is, and will remain, unconscious and breathing.  The staff at the hospital do not expect him to live many more days.

 

I will not be available to play as I will be travelling to deal with whatever it is that next of kin has to do in these situations.  I'm assuming I will be back by next week and will let you know if that is not the case.

I'm back. My father died

jaibyrd — Tue, 03/10/2009 - 09:50

I'm back.

My father died without regaining consciousness on 3 March.  Without going into detail, we were estranged and this is a blessing that he has quietly died without pain.  After going through a week of intense physical work (cleaning up his 2 places of residence and sorting items) emotion (Grief and Relief do not sit well together) I'm very glad to be home (regardless of the ^*$%  -36C temperature this morning).  I look forward to playing with you all again I've missed the game and my friends here.

WB, Jai.  I've been through the grief/relief (grielief?) as well and it's something that is very hard to put into words.  We're all still thinking about ya.  Good to have you back :)
