    Be back soon!!

    Hi all,had a mojo killer this week!
    My father a 70 year old full time truck driver and crane operator contracted covid, wasn't a major problem just had to isolate but got an infection from a splinter and had to go hospital for I v antibiotics,was absolutely fine day one,doctors expected a speedy recovery and home soon,two days later he was on a ventilator and being moved to intensive care and family was call ed because he may not make it, we never got the chance to say goodbye as he suffered a massive heart attack before they moved him and he couldn't be resuscitated, he was sedated so didn't really suffer at any point and it was quick.was a big shock to all as I thought I would end up retiring before he gave up work.lol . He was one them old school grafters who just got on and never complained or felt sorry for himself,could always find a laugh no matter how bad things where. Was much loved and will be missed by many.
    He passed away on remembrance day which to me is a nice finish somehow.
    Sorry for the long post but writing this down feels therapeutic regardless of anyone reading it! Modelling does take mind off of a lot of crap that's why I enjoy it so hopefully I'll be back boring everyone with my build threads soon .

          Mark,
          losing a parent is a shock, it takes a while for it to sink in, and then a long time to come to terms with the loss. It will come eventually, but things are never going to be quite the same again. All I can say is, turn to the family, and support each other
          Dave

                              Really sorry and sad for your dad, Mark.
                              One of the most awful aspect of COVID (if a less than awful one could ever be named) is that families cannot be near their beloved ones in their last moments.
                              My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

                              Andrea.
