Re: Poppy Girl...
Dear Expat Friends
Firstly Thank you to Sohia for making this post that was very kind of her and Thank you for the well wish's.
I would like to say to any of you that may have things to say to a loved one and are abroad make it up before something happens to you or them, luckily the rift with my father was made up the later part of last year, and we got to have Xmas together but never the less alot of time was wasted.
I was lucky that KLM Let me out so quickly, I got the call at 10am cst and was on the Plane at 4.30pm in Chicago, I arrived at 9.30am uk and was with Dad that afternoon, went home was told they would call if he got worse, got the call at 9.30pm and drove to the hospital where I spent the night with him alone as my mother was not in any state to be there, at 5.35am on the 25th Jan Daddy died in my arms, I said to him give me one last cuddle Daddy and he died we never got to speak as he was out of it when I got to the UK.
Why am I telling you this well its because if anyone reads this that has family problems then even if I can just 1 person to make up with their loved one I have done some good as I would hate to see anymore go through what I felt.
I am sitting at home emailing family and friends and trying to be honest take my mind else where for a bit.
Take care all flying back the 5th.
