Don’t know when she’ll get to blog again, so let this put the word out: Cal’s dad Jim died very early this morning. It was the end of a difficult journey.
Fate dealt the cancer to Jim, and none of the family had any choice in that, but everyone could choose how to respond to it: with dignity and humour and love. (Along with frustration and sadness and anxiety, of course. When someone you love is leaving, it hurts like hell.)
I’ll be heading up to Hastings shortly to be with everyone, so expect radio silence here for a while.
