Bye Bye John

Rob's dad John died last Monday. He fought valiantly for 15 months, but it was ultimately a battle he couldn't win. We have the funeral tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a wonderful celebration of his life. Having seen John on his death bed on the Sunday -- which brought back some uncomfortable memories of my gran -- and how grey and ashen the rest of the family were, I have to say his passing will be a release for them all. I'm hoping that after the funeral, Rob will be able to start looking forward, as his life has frankly been on hold for the last year.

John was a good son, husband, father, host and friend to many. Bye bye John.
