One way or another, ...Good stuff Marcus, well done.<br />One way or another, families are really forever, regardless of the circumstances. Their love, spirit & influence, lives on strongly in us, it is so evident. <br /><br />Us 'Cornish kids' lost our loving & strong Dad at age 55, in a tragic sudden death work accident. <br />Hard to believe it happened, after he fought & suffered for 3.5 years as a Singapore P.O.W., and Thai Burma Railway slave, brutally treated by the Japanese.<br /> <br />Dad was a terrific bloke, we have very treasured memories and he was held in very high regard by many. <br />Thanks be to God, we will always love you forever Dad. <br /><br />P.s. I now have the honour of helping/caring for my lovely father in law (89), in an aged care facility in Mundaring. <br />Able to personally visit, share with &/or take out every 2 or 3 days.

It is very gratifying to know he was known and loved by people all over the world. <br />Thanks, take care, MarcusMarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372523102108232792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013575890703886368.post-30736619213516557232017-07-11T23:34:50.317+10:002017-07-11T23:34:50.317+10:00You never lost his love Marcus... he's just lo...You never lost his love Marcus... he's just loving you from afar now.<br /><br />When I reflect back, I remember he did a small contest on his blog, and the winner would get a set of DVD's about Australia, and I won. Good to his word, a few weeks later, a set of DVD's arrived in my mail, and my wife and I watched them in wonder, knowing my friend from "Down Under", that I'd never really met, sent them to me.<br /><br />I'll watch them again this coming weekend, and silently thank him once again for the gift, and his friendship.<br />Him, and Merle... were two of a kind. Wonderful people, with great, strong family ties that persevere even to this day.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759192880485404885noreply@blogger.com
