Ahhh, so that would have been a while ago when Toronto was not what it's become. So family in Canada and in Finland, wow.

Ages ago yes. I think he's deceased but my only contact was through letters he sent my dad and with my dad gone last year...No contact.
Finland yes, and other parts of Australia; I'm the only one in this State we were all born in. Spread around the place for sure. Australia is big too so we don't see each other much. Covid has ruined that too.
Yeah, it was a pretty tragic thing really. Last July. I miss dad.
Yeah, I was intending to be in Cairns to be with my nephew for his third birthday but covid. Sucks. I hope to make it there sometime this year but who knows.
He was 84 with dementia and cancer. He was in a nursing home and I wasn't allowed in due to covid. Didn't see him since March 2020 and he died in July. I was the dude who told his doctor to up his Endone as he was in pain. He passed away in his sleep, in peace, and I like to think he's wherever one goes and is with my mum [who died at 59 - Cancer].
It was...Not so nice. I'd cared for him since my mum died and with no siblings here it was taxing. It is what it is though, I had that time with him as dswigle and I were commenting a few days ago. [She did the same].
I hope to get up there but I'm not sure I will this year as the wet-season comes in soon. That high in Australia is tropical and it's a hellish time to be there with humidity, heat and rainfall. We'll see.
Yeah, she was pretty young. Unfortunately she chose no treatment other than mumbo-jumbo Eastern medicine; poultices and brews. She died poorly although with copious amount of morphine was in no pain at least. Dad had an open wound on his entire foot, lack of circulation [renal failure] meant it wouldn't heal; could see the ligaments through it. It was pretty horrific. They are at peace though, now. I'm ok with it. I'll die someday also, we all will.
