Bittersweet Life


This morning we recieved the sad news that my Father in Law finally lost his long battle with cancer, and died peacefully in his sleep. While we are glad that he doesn't have the pain anymore, we were hoping that the Little Late One would arrive before we had to say goodbye to his Grampa. It's not the case though and we're going to miss him terribly.


We were lucky enough to have lots of time with him and he was able to come all the way to Romania last year to spend 3 months with us before we got married. We know he was overjoyed to have been at the wedding and moreso when he heard about the baby.



Today was his birthday, He turned 75. Happy Birthday Dad, we're thinking of you.

sorry to hear about the death of malcolm. He was a lovely man and it was a great pleasure to meet him when I was over for your wedding. On another note I know it is a cloke tradition to be late (although you obviously are no longer a cloke but you still have their genes) but this wee one is taking it to the extreme. love to you all sue xx
