Hi Eli,
Yeah you must be chewing on lifes gristle right now....You only have one Mum its a real kick in the guts when they go....My Old Mum was married in 1940 After Dads ship came back from the Campaign in Norway,from there to mid 1946 she saw him maybe a total of a few months as he was at Sea,The Mediterranean,Russia,the Atlantic then the Pacific,he was sunk three times,twice in one Day LOL...She used carry me in a suitcase to shelter from the German Bombs in the underground Railway where she slept...Bonds like that when broken leave a big hole...Just remember the good times Eli,Commisserations.
