Oh my god I'm a fool!

Ok, I lost my father last Monday, tough times.

 

Then I went & did this.....

 

I committed a heinous mistake yesterday....now don't read on if your not fond of dark humor, but I am working with my nephew 'tim tom' getting things straight at my father's house, where we are having his funeral based from.

 

My father's name is Peter, rest his soul, he always said,'just chuck me in a hole when I go'.

 

He has a 4 acre garden, so we have a lot of work to do there to please my mother & two sisters & get it looking pristine....

 

Anyway, I'm over there with my digger & truck, spreading the drive, Tim tom had just got back from the garden centre with a ton of compost type material,in my truck, & was setting off again for some pea shingle, the women of the family were having tea on the porch, organising us, as they do, & mutton head me, on seeing Tim setting off without having unloaded, shouts out to him;

 

'Tim, Tim, stop'...he retorts, 'Why'?

 

Then I go and say it, at the top of my voice.....' You've still got Pete in the back of the back of the truck'!

 

The wailing that ensued from the porch resembled a siren's fish market!!!

 

If this can cause a laugh or smile to cross a few faces here I'm a happier man for my errant ways....

I giggled... can't beat saying something before you think!

Sorry to hear about your father Geoff.

 

It's always difficult to find the correct words when a loved one has passed and with peoples emotional state as it is great care is required.

 

I like dark humour and admit a smile ensued....

 

Now I feel bad!

[TGB]

Yeah. Bad news about your father. But the end but made me chuckle.

Geoff, It's not just your truck that's full of peat. Can you unload your inbox at the same time?

Made me chuckle. Sad times but it will past as you go things will pop up to remind of the good times

[Logdaft]

I laughed, if you don`t laugh you`ll cry ... you will have done enough of that already!

[Shane]

Made me laugh - every bit helps. just think what your Father would have thought of that too!

 

Condolences on your loss, congratulations on your openness and humour.
