Getting back into the swing of things

[aussieokie]

Hi everyone,
As some of you know I've been back in Australia since July 11th. The whole trip came together in a period of about 10 hours - from being notified I need to get out here to leaving Oklahoma. The reason for the rush was to try and arrive in time to see my Father before he passed away.

I was fortunate enough to spend about 5 weeks with him and the rest of my family. Unfortunately, on Friday August 12 Dad quietly, and peacefully passed away.

At the moment I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be in Australia, but I imagine it will be another 4 weeks or more.

I'm slowly starting to work my way back into the various projects I was working on before and to get involved in the TSB community again.

I'm now getting the new TSB Clinic site back on track along with some other things I was working on before this all happened.

Cheers for now,
Jim

Jim,

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope you and all your family will remember the good times you had with your father and remember to talk with him when times are tough. Even though he is gone, he is listening and will give you comfort in trying times. My prayers are with you and your family.

Best wishes,

Roland

My condolences to you and your family Jim. It seems people are here and then gone too quickly. My father passed on many years ago from a heart attack at 52. It was quite a shocker. There was no time to say goodbye or anything, he was just gone.

It's fortunate for you and your family you were able to spend some time with him at the end. Keep your chin up and carry on.

Regards:

Sorry too, for your loss Mate.
Seems Mike, yourself and I have ALL lost
our father, far too early.
My Dad died of a heart attach last year week
after my birthday, but i got to see him then
and exchange hugs. We loved playing all
the tomb raider series, and he became quiet
good at it.
Anyway....i know how your feeling so hugs
and prayers and thoughts to you and family.

Jim,
It is sad but good to see your dad before he passed away which many of us could not get a chance. May God's loving kindness and comfort be with you and all family members.

Sorry to hear about your loss Jim,been there too.

Take it easy and allow yourself the time you need to come to terms with things. Work is good therapy, just be careful you don't use it to hide from your feelings.

Take care mate.
