Not part of the plan

Sadly, Grandfer passed away tonight at around 2 am. He had his second stroke just over a week ago and this time he wasn't able to beat it.

Hard to know if he could hear us when we were in the room, and to be honest I can't decide if I prefer it if he could or couldn't. The occasional squeeze of the hand in response to a "How you doing mate" makes you think he is conscious, but the idea of being trapped inside a struggling body doesn't bear thinking about. It did however mean we all had our chance to properly say goodbye to a great Dad.

Cheers Mate, rest in peace
