My father in law died unexpectedly during the night. It’s now 7am and I am just back from dropping my husband at the airport, neither of us having had much sleep. There is never a good time for these things but, with the dreaded prelims starting this week, I can’t just take off to Somerset in support like I would normally do; the cousins have mock A levels this week so it’s the same for them. The boys are still asleep so they don’t yet know that Grandad has gone. We will all miss him.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Best wishes to all.
Sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts are with you.
guineapigmum,
Very sorry to hear your news. It’s tough not being able to go down with him right now -but you will be there for the long haul, and that’s what is important.
Your husband and you, and the boys will be in our thoughts over the next while.
I’m so sorry to hear this. We will be thinking of you and boys over this time.
Take care.
My thoughts are with you
Thanks everyone
Just read your blog for the first time in a while. Really sad news.
