Rain, Sun, rainbow, Sadness
We had been away for a few days Glyn & I with Milo we travelled North staying at Port Denison with the caravan.
We had just arrived back home today when we had a message to phone Glyn's brother in the UK, the call we had been dreading for the last 3 weeks, Glyn's Dad had passed away early this morning, he had been slipping away the last 24 hours, he had mostly slept in that time so the signs were there that it was only a matter of time.
Mixed emotions tangled amongst a great sadness, there is also a sense of relief as he would have hated being so still for so long, no longer able to eat or talk and thats just two of his favourite things, we managed to speak to him just before we left home a few days ago, "he wished he was coming too" he said, the last words he spoke to us, we had him in our pocket the whole time.
The drive back today was rain and sunshine and so many rainbows in between, i managed to catch a glimpse of this one while we were driving home.
Goodbye Dad, you will be missed so much, you have left us with so many happy memories, your smile and your laughter we will carry with us always...
