Sorry for your lost JP!
Sorry for your lost JP!
Thanks to all for your condolences. For now it's a process for my Dad and quite a bit to coordinate before he can settle in and move on. Thankfully my brother finally engaged but he is complaining about it and will now attempt to control everything so it's convenient for him.
I will not be in attendance for the service as I just left and have some hard locked commitments here. I spoke with my cousin and she will set up a zoom type video so I can be in attendance from afar. My Dad fully understands and supports it.
Then first part of June my wife and I will return for a month and I will work remotely at my parents place and assess what are his intentions. My brother stated no way he is moving here. I just laughed inside as I do not want to debate that at this time, but in the end, it's my dad's decision. He knows without question that has a place here and we can make it work. But again that ultimately has to be his decision.
So for now, we get through the services.

All I can say is that it was great that you spent time back there with your Mum. I hadn't read this thread for a while so I was reading to catch up and you were talking about your Mum maybe not lasting much longer and what you were planning to do AND then wham you said she had passed on. I honestly felt for you as I am sure you would have been torn apart about not being able to turn around and go back to help your Dad.
But I am sure you will sort it out as you/we always do, so best wishes for you and your dad for the future and good luck.
So sorry for your loss stumpy great that you got to spend time with her before she passed. When i moved back to oz a few years ago my mum passed while i was in transit back to oz got the message from my bro while boarding in bangkok. So didnt get to see mum one last time.
Amen to that Snubs. My brother seldom ever visits my parents and lives just over an hour away and if he does its for a few hours and leaves. I fly 8k miles and stay with them for 3 weeks to a month at a time about 2 times a year. I even made the trek during the peak time during covid.
Sadly I have absolutely nothing in common with my brother and we seldom ever speak.
Im sure stumpys family will sort it out but it can get kinda fucked up in my case for example when mum passed she left me and my brother $10000 each , not a lot of money but thats all she had,my sister received nothing because 10 years previous her and her boyfriend had talked mum into parting with a substantial amount of $ because they bought a house with a granny flat attached. The sister and boyfriend relationship didnt last long so they had to sell the house, leaving mum in a precarious situation. To this day my sister is pissed of she didnt get anything from mums estate
Plus she financed her to go to canada to see her sons offspring, my posts a bit long winded but just saying how it can get bent out of shape when a loved one pass,s
Nice pics and sounds like a great time, Stumpy!
Congrats on your daughter's wedding, looks lovely. Must be very proud!
Cheers
Sad news stump. The timing showed how much your visit meant to your mum.
Looks like some good living out there.
