Today, at 09:50 GMT my mother finally passed away.
She has been declining into severe Dementia over the last 10 years. I managed to care for her at home for 7 of these, but the last 3 were in a local nursing home who did an excellent job looking after her.
I was there when she died, as a former nurse, I have seen death before, and she died relatively peacefully. For this I am thankful.
Wargaming will have to take a back seat for a bit as I sort out things that must be sorted.
Normal service, I am certain, will return as soon as possible.
Richard.

Sorry to heard of your lost. My wife mother pasted with the same disease. It is heart breaking to watch a active loving person to slow fade away.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, its a long and hard road to travel on, but like all roads, it does finally come to an end, thankfully!

DeleteHappy gaming to you all!
Just stumbled upon this today googling for ways to play xwing solo. Sorry for your loss and God bless you and your family, man.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The funeral was yesterday and went very well!
DeleteThings always start to return to normal when this is done, so I am looking forward to getting back to wargame related stuff after Easter!
I hope you enjoy the solo rules!
My condolences Richard, I hope that the fact you were able to care for her so long at home will be some consolation to you. Kind regards,
