Father has passed away.
I posted on his blog http://www.lesjohnston.ca/2017/09/11/father-has-passed-away/. I got a message from Laura while in class today. I knew it couldn’t be good. It wasn’t. She was in tears when I called her back.
I am wondering if I have to fly out there anytime soon. More than $300 one-way. In class right now, one class tomorrow, so there might be time.
update
I’m at a motel in Salmo, BC, on my way to Rosedale / Chilliwack. Father’s viewing will be tomorrow 4pm sharp.
Laura is clearly upset. She’s returned all his meds to the pharmacist / chemist / drug store so as not to have them just sitting around in the house; morphine, cancer drugs, sleep, mental stability, etc. Best clear them out. She’ll have a lot to think about with her life now. Her power in the situation has just dropped out from under her. She cannot be in charge of the house now that Father’s gone. This must be quite unsettling for her. I will give her how much time she needs to decide when to leave. Or an arrangement otherwise.
Aizlynn (in England, on bike tour) spoke with me (driving Crow’s Nest Hwy 3 to Rosedale) re all this. She’s of the mind that all legal things must be done soon, and I’m for sure the guy to get them done, so it’s the right thing to do, going out there. No one else has that ability – only me.
Time for bed. 10:30pm MDT (9:30 PDT). Long drive before me in the morning.
Thank you for everyone who has called, messaged, etc. Thank you for your love and caring.
