My dad passed away just after 2am yesterday, Saturday July 10th. The on duty RN was able to alert me in time for me to sit with him until he was gone. I didn’t have any sleep before or after, so I was exhausted by the time the undertakers left a 9.30am. With this horrid lockdown there will be just three plus the celebrant at the graveside funeral. Norm, myself and our son Ken, who lives within the lockdown boundaries, and where we’ll stay until we head home – outside the lockdown area. If the lockdown is just for another two weeks we’ll remain in the Sydney lockdown. If it’s for a longer period as they have predicted we’ll head home under the Covid rules at that time, including a self isolation in our own home and Covid tests. It’s difficult to plan anything beyond a day or two at a time with restrictions changing at short notice.
With most of my photos on my desktop at home, I won’t be able to add more until we return home..

Thank you. It’s been a full on 3 weeks and it’s not over until we get the Covid test results we had yesterday to be negative so we can leave the lock down area and go home…to lockdown.

You are very welcome. I lost my mom 15 years ago and my dad followed 16 months later. Just know they are now two of God’s angels watching over you.
