It took just a few words to break my heart ...

A mere 24 hours ago I received a phone call from my choked up Dad which devastated me: "Dear, it's Nelson ... I'm so sorry" *Waaaaaaaaaaaaaugh* Dad had just found his body lying outside in the middle of the carport (where he always sat and waited for me when I was out in the car) He was still warm

You write so wonderfully about him, it brought tears to my eyes.

Sniff, it's very sad and terrible that you couldn't be there with him.
It sounds like he was very lucky to have you (and vice versa), and that he led a long and, ultimately, good life.
Big hugs from me, and come back to Melbourne soon!

Hey there firebabe

Been there many times and it never gets better, does it? I lost Ashe (aged 17) last year. Very sobworthy the whole thing.

We're so sorry to hear that you've lost Nelson, especially at a time when you already have more than enough to deal with. Hugs from both of us.
