Numi's boudoir

Hello Lit peeps.

I've been off the grid for a bit. My Dad died last month, peacefully. It wasn't unexpected, there wasn't much of him left after the ravages of Alzheimer's over many years. I wasn't enormously sure he knew who I was for the last few, although he always seemed pleased enough to see me. So it's a mercy and a relief in lots of ways, but it still knocked me a bit for six rather.

And then his partner of thirty years also died, that one was unexpected. What a bloody awful fortnight that was. Socially distanced funerals, it's really hard to wipe your eyes and blow your nose when you're wearing a mask...

I did get to go to France for a couple of weeks once it was all done, that helped a lot to recover and reset somewhat. And today I have emerged from post-France quarantine, just in time for my government to lock us all down again... gahhh.

Quite fed up with 2020 now. :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about your dad.:heart:
 
what an awful double blow for you, recovering here from losing dad and now mum is in rehab from having a fall and breaking her hip, here's hoping 2021 is better for us both :rose::kiss:

Thank you, bonez :kiss: I'm so sorry you lost your Dad, I remember he was nearing the end. Is your Mum in rehab at home or in hospital? A hip fracture sounds very painful, I hope she recovers quickly. And yes, 2021 has a lot to do to make up for this year :rolleyes: Fingers crossed.

Condolences and hopes that the rest of this year and all therefter as all happer and spent doing all that you best love to be doing with those you love . :rose:

Thank you Mr TN :kiss: Who knows when things will get back to normal, whatever happens some things will be changed forever, I suppose.

Sorry to hear about your dad.:heart:

Thank you :kiss: It was a good death, really, very peaceful, no pain. The end of an era...
 
I am so sorry to hear of your recent losses, Numi. Even when it is expected, it is never easy. I am glad that you were able to travel and have a chance to step outside of your day to day. It is good to see you back here, lovely. :rose:

Very sorry to hear of your losses, Numi. Even when the passing of a loved one is somewhat of a blessing, it is still hard.

We're approaching the anniversary of my FIL's passing. He was starting to show some signs that he was suffering from dementia and was out pruning a tree in the garden when he had a fall, breaking his neck. He made it to the hospital, but ultimately succumbed to the pneumonia that followed his incapacitation. SWMBO was, sadly, unable to make it in time to see her dad before he passed as his decline was very sudden. Thankfully, last year wasn't like this one, and we were able to travel to pay our respects and be with family and friends.

My MIL's health is fair, but we always worry about what would happen if she were to pass without being able to travel.

And yes. 2020 can just suck it.

Thank you Angelica, your words mean a lot to me. :rose: I'm feeling better as time goes on, and having been away did help, I know. And we didn't get locked down again here. Quite. Yet :eek:

I'm sorry to hear about your FiL. Anniversaries can be tough too, especially that first one. I hope you can smile with the memories as well as feel sad, with the passing of a year. I didn't know the last time I saw my Dad that it would be the last time. Which is good, actually, I think. It was a brilliant visit, he was on good form and there was a lot of giggling together. H took a lovely photo of us laughing together, which is a nice memento to have.

You've been through a lot. I'm so sorry, Numi

Thank you, AF :kiss: They were both in their eighties and had led full and fun lives before age caught up with them, and knowing that helps a lot.

Sorry to hear.

Thank you. :rose:

you're very welcome Numi and thank you too :kiss: mum is in rehab at a special hospital just over an hours drive from where i live, but she has aphone in her room so can keep in contact, it sounds like it will be a while before she's mobile enough to get home though. I'll keep everything crossed for you there, sending you love and thoughts for you

I hope she recovers quickly. The rehab can be tough, I remember a neighbour going through it, but she's good as new now. I shall hope for that for your Mum.

Thank you so much, lovely. I'm touched that you remembered about the postcards. It will be strange now when we are allowed to travel again, to see postcards and not think of sending him one. It was a great thing to find he could still read and have the tangible object of a postcard to hold.
 
Thank you to everyone for the condolences, here and privately. This may be a sex site, but it's so much more than just that.

:heart:
 
They better check your bedroom.:)

Ha! I'm not that much of a size queen. Although my appreciation of a decent girth is a matter of record... ;)

Do you know, I just assumed the huge wooden cock had been removed by a prude, it never occurred to me that someone had nicked it for *coughs* 'personal use". I don't think I have that much room in my garden :D
