My father passed yesterday.
He was a difficult man who struggled to show love.
I am so grateful for the last 6 months and the healing that happened in them between us.
In the end we both loved so much. He died quietly in my arms with so many of my kisses.
He died … MY Daddy.
It is good to remind yourself often that there are people who share this world with you who have never seen the sea or experienced a meal in a restaurant.

Today she flies the nest… and it hurts!
She returns for a few days in March before leaving for overseas but it feels like the beginning of the separation for me and I am struggling. Send hugs! ☺️
UPDATE:
I am home and all is well. Need to go see a cardiologist and have a small procedure done at some point .. but seems like the chances of Saturday night recurring any time soon are few and far between! 💃🏼
Thank you all for all the love and care shown! I am truly blown away!
My beautiful friend, I am devastated.
Just the other day we were dancing, laughing and having fun together!
You were a truly good man and I know you will be missed by many!!

Taking care of my Dad the last few days has taught me 4 things:
1. Life is fragile
2. We all get old
3. I love my Dad, but …
4. Now I know why I am a little messed up some times
When I am no longer here … I want you to know that I will always be grateful for this beautiful little space I have on this platform … here among you guys.
Most of you won’t know that Ladybird is actually a nickname of mine from primary school because my friends would find ladybirds walking on me a freakish amount of times … well … it’s happening again!!

Walk past a mom and small daughter.
Hear the mom say: “she smells nice” as I pass. Little girl shouts after me: “Lady you smell nice!”

So the centre that I work has this cat who religiously walks into every shop every day as if to say hello and then walks out. Two days ago .. he/she discovered my lap and today it’s back for more 🤷🏼♀️
I have heard that this is not it’s normal behaviour 🤣
