I’ve just had the most unexpected bad news.
My son Matthew V who hosted this forum for some years, died unexpectedly this morning, possibly from a heart attack.
I am coming to pieces, and starting to shake uncontrollably, so I’d better leave you all with this terrible news. Mrs V is in shock.

I am a complete and utter mess, much so more than I would have imagined, but then again, I didn’t expect this. Mrs V is quite the mess too. I suppose it wasn’t in any plan, I guess. Matthew was only 48. Too bloody young. His youngest daughter is still at high school. The older children are rallying around their mother.
I suspect lots of rum will be my friend today. I started around 4:30 am…

“To lose one child, Mr V, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”

I won’t have my good mate Matthew to comfort and talk to me as I get older and more and more infirm. Can I convince the grandchildren to do this? I dunno.

Something like this always calls to mind similar occasions, i suppose because they’re always devastating, something no-one is ever going to get used to.
A remark i overheard was ‘he’s dead, son, you can’t do anything for him. It’s the ones who are still alive who need your help’.

The bloke across the road is a good chap and has said I can come over whenever I want. I had lots of long phone chats yesterday and a long one this morning with historic friends.
And Mrs V has lots of friends. One just dropped off some cinnamon muffins and a quiche.
I’m eating one of the muffins now.

waves & HUGZ for Mr V.
You up to a phone call?
Yes. When?
Now??. I’m at home.
The evening would be better, I think. Mrs V’s still calling people to let them know. I’ve still got to call one other person, too.
