My father passed away this evening.
I feel strangely about it. Not grief so much as bewilderment. But I also feel it is time for me (finally) to grow up and to be substantially less devoted to self pity.
Many thanks to you all for your thoughts over recent days. I have been astonished by your kindness.
Sorry. Tried several other things but deleted them all. Just sorry.
Feelings are frequently strange. That said, I am sorry, too.
I understand mixed emotions at the death of a parent. It very much depends on your relationship with that parent. I don’t know how you got on with your Father and don’t need to know. I’m not prying.
All you need to know is that there are people on the other side of the screen concerned for you & hoping you can come to terms with the situation.
Take care.
Thinking of you, Moobs. Blessings to you.
I’m so sorry. I’ll be thinking about you and sending lots of love.
I’m very sorry xx
Not sure I’ve ever met anyone less self-pitying than you Mr Moobs.
You know where we are if there’s anything at all …
So sorry x
Very sorry to hear your news x
Sorry to hear that, Moobs. You’re in my prayers. x
Thinking of you x
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Moobs.
very sad to heard the news, Moobs. These things are rarely easy, even bewilderment can take a bit of time to get your head around.
i don’t think you’re selfpitying at ALL! the world may feel like a strange place without your father in it – or not. either way, don’t be hard on yourself. my head’s still not right at all but the only way out is through, so on we go … x
Hugs from across the pond.
Sorry, Moobs

I’m so sorry, Moobs. I think I said this on Twitter. I know how complicated your relationship was with him. I hope he, and you, can move on to better things.
Condolences Moobs.
Hi Moobz..
Thinking about you and P. It strikes me that you can grieve the father that you didn’t have, and become the father that you wanted him to be. And, have great compassion for yourself.
Lots of love

Crikey. What a day to stumble upon your blog.
For what it is worth, I am sorry about your father.
I’m so sorry to hear this news, albeit belatedly.
You know I know how that goes.
You’re in my thoughts.
All best,
P
I am sorry, Moobs….
I’m so deeply sorry to hear this.
And I’m so sorry to have been absent for so long. Things. Stuff.
I hope your family is finding some peace. You are in my thoughts.
