With the promotion of self publication and all the other work that has been going on here, Dad decided around 2am this morning (22/11/2013) that it was time to begin his next adventure.
He was seen off earlier the previous evening by myself, my brother, and my sister as well as his wife (our mum), and an enigmatic being known only as a Lorraine.
After this time of story telling, laughing, crying, joking and mickey taking, we saw how tired both mom and dad were, and we decided to leave them under the (sometimes) gentle care of The Lorraine.
When Dad found the timetable for his travels, he let Mum know gently, which woke her from her drowsing, then, with the same gentleness he showed in this universe, he boarded his favorite mode of transport, the Interdimensional Steam Train, and set off with a smile and a wave.
For those of us closest, that smile was a reminder that his pain has ended, and the wave, an indicator that he will pop in to all those that knew him, from time to time. Usually at the most inconvenient and in opportune moments he can.
While we are sad that he is no longer here, we are happy he now has no pain, and is experiencing more extraordinary things that his writers mind will be frantically weaving into a new story.
