+ the end of all things
Mar. 19th, 2026 08:42 pm my father in law died this morning.of a suspected heart attack.
he was a true gem of a man. he was as close to me as if i was his real daughter. he loved to debate the deeper meaning of anything, he was clever, and funny, and he loved good food and drink and company and my life will never be the same.
chris is broken. i don't know how he will recover from this.
we were at the beach having a picnic lunch, enjoying the sunshine and talking about how lucky we were when the phone rang. it was amy, utterly hysterical and chris just repeated dads dead?? as if he couldn't fathom what he was hearing. he's at his sisters now. i can't wrap my head around it. such a presence just snuffed out, and so suddenly.
gaz rang, he spoke to the ambulance people. he said it looked like he had just fallen asleep in his chair.
