Bad news
Long time no read, guys. I cannot really say I was busy lately. Everything has been the same, except that got quite into snowboarding. However, judging from the title, you probably can guess that the post wont be as “happy” as most of the posts here, so you are welcome to skip reading it, if you’re not in the right mood 
Yesterday in the evening I got the news that my father has passed away. We weren’t really in contact - last time I saw him was 2 years ago. But nevertheless I was really shocked. Especially since so far in my life I have been fortunate enough not to loose some close family member or friend. The most common sentence I get to hear is “he is in a better place now”, which is indeed a bit comforting. Especially knowing how his life has been for the past 10 years or so. But still it’s quite an oppressive feeling to know I won’t get another opportunity to talk to him or write him a letter or visit him again.
The funeral was today, so I was not able to be there. But my mother went (as probably most of you don’t know - my parents got divorced shortly after I was born and did not stay in touch). And seems like it was really good, as there were so many of his friends and family there (from what I know, lot’s of them did not spend much of their time with him either in the past years). And after the funeral they all gathered in a restaurant and talked about old stories and remembered good times with him. Indeed a great way to say goodbye…
