discussion Be back soon!!

[Mark1]

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

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.

My deepest condolences, Mark, to you and your family on the sad loss of your father.

Sadly, my partner's mother died just over a week ago and the shock and pain is still there. However, I have found that remaining involved with the modelling community at this sad time has helped me enormously and for that I am most grateful.
