I received a phone call from DD2 late last night to say that Mark, my eldest son had passed away. Details are a bit vague at the moment, it appears he collapsed on a train on the way home from Brighton, he passed away yesterday. He was an alcoholic and his liver was shot, I have not seen him for a number of years. He only came out of the woodwork when he wanted something. It is very sad, but he is at peace now.
We discussed not going to the retreat but there is nothing we can do, his girlfriend was named at his next of kin, so its up to her to sort things out. She never approved of me, so I am in a difficult situation. I will be damned if I go to his funeral, and damned if I don't.
Yesterday was a lovely sunny day and quite warm, although it goes cold at night. More of the same today. Edwin has an appointment at the dentist today I think he has pyorrea, his gums are bleeding especially at night. His teeth have never been really good, a result of medication when he had rheumatic fever as a child.
I need to do a bit of shopping whilst we are in the town, just enough to see us through until we get home from Sheffield.
ADB tonight for supper.
