No matter how much you know the end is nigh, when it actually happens it is a wrench. When the last remaining parent passes, so begins a new era when each of the next generation becomes the head of their own family pyramid - I know, been there, done that. Best wishes for your new life in Hanmer Springs; hope you find new happiness. Cheers, Chris. Dear Tony,

My deepest condolences on the sad loss of your mother. No matter how much you know the end is nigh, when it actually happens it is a wrench.

When the last remaining parent passes, so begins a new era when each of the next generation becomes the head of their own family pyramid – I know, been there, done that.

Best wishes for your new life in Hanmer Springs; hope you find new happiness.

Cheers, Chris.

I lost my father about 4 years ago and can well relate to those bitter-sweet feelings. After reading this today I got out a box of old newspapers Dad had kept and that had remained in the box I found them in. "The War is Over" was the main message from the ones I looked at, newspapers from 1945. I had previously found around 200 old WW1 negatives in reasonable condition and had started to scan these. A couple of weeks ago we had a severe lightning storm in Hamilton and I lost my main computer, NAS storage, modem and a few other electrical devices. Luckily I had offsite storage, but it brought home to me what you said about the really important things in life. Not the valuable things, but memories contained in things like photos, postcards and the like. I am determined now to make sure these are doubly safe so others can enjoy them as I have.
