Thanks so much for your kind words chaps.
Jim...Losing a parent is an unique and dreadful time, made only worse by them being taken from us "early" The loss of my Dad will leave a huge hole in our family that can and will, never be filled.
The loss of your Mum is awful, and i am sure that you feel exactly the same as i do, as i write this.....Empty and lost.
All we can hope for is that the future will be brighter and that as time goes by we will cope better.
I am pleased that my Dad was able to open up the 1:48 scale to you, it was typical of the kind of man that he was.
My Dad was cremated on Thursday at a small family service...Days are dark at the moment, but will hopefully become brighter as time moves on.
All the very best and thanks to you all,
Chris.
