30 May 2022 Garand Picture of the day - excuse the dark humor

[CINDERS]

I sat along with my wife and sisters at mum's beside for 4 days after her 3rd aneurysm (1st was 9 years prior) she passed whilst I held her hand saying it was alright to leave us and to go to Dad (Dec-1985) pancreatic cancer & my brother (Dec-1990) he was only 43 had a H/A.
Even though she was not fully awake they will hang on if your there, 12 years later we did the same thing with my 2nd eldest sister when she had a aneurysm after waiting the mandatory 4 days for brain function then turning off the life support and waiting for the inevitable.

I may not have been to a conflict but I've buried 4 of my immediate family Dad, Mum, Brother & Sister and have seen enough of death close up & personal to last me until my toes turn up which nearly happened 18 months ago so I live for now and tomorrow.
We that were 7 and now are 2 as my eldest sister is still alive she is 72.
