Hello Caroline

Sorry to hear about your Dad but as others have said he will be at peace now.

Take care of yourself whilst travelling as this will be an exhausting trip for you.

Not sure what will happen to his ashes - he loved the sun and the sea, so sister may scatter them, or plant a tree.

Hope you get on ok booking flights Caroline.I have booked flights this afternoon to go home to see mine next week. :(Very stressful trying to sort it out.Good luck getting yours booked.

Took me a while to respond to this as I honestly haven't wanted to face thinking about these things. Especially with Parents. I dont know what to say, Except I'm thinking about you.

Got to say your Dad sounds a lot like mine. Atheist.. Pinching the food... Cheeky etc etc. So I'm feeling a lot of empathy.

Hang on tight to the good memories.

Thanks everyone- tickets all booked, though we are coming home a day early to avoid another $640 per person being whacked on top of the $1900 per person that they charged us.
