Sad start to 2009..............................

2009 has got off to a sad beginning for El Presidente and Moi.
As you know, we went to the UK on the 13th January this year. The evening after we arrived, El Presidente's Dad had a massive heart attack. I was in the room with him and Peter phoned for an ambulance and they arrived pretty quickly and spent some 20 minutes ressussitating him. When we got to the hospital they told us there was no response from him although he was breathing on his own and that it was only a matter of time. He died two days later.
He was 92 and although his sight was impaired he insisted on living on his own and took care of himself with a little help right until he died. He was a lovely man.
El Presidente's Mum died last August, she was 87. They had been married 63 years.
I know that they were getting on and that they had had a good life but it is still tragic and El Presidente and Moi miss them both.
