Kitty MIA

Friends,

Tonight I received word that my father passed away.
I will not have internet access until I return from Adelaide.

If you need to contact me, please contact Aaron.

Luv,
Kitty

Thankyou, everyone, for your kind words.

I fly out at 5.40pm this afternoon.

I still can't put my feelings into words, I feel like I am drowning and it hurts and hurts and hurts.

Aaron is my support, as always, without him I would be lost.

Once again, thankyou to my AGT family, it means more to me than I know how to express.

*hugs*

Words can't say what you're feeling right now so let the emotions out and try to focus on the happier times you had together. Deepest condolences and big hugs.

Hi all,

Aaron and I flew into Canberra last night.
The funeral was on Monday.

It's amazing all the emotions and feelings I have been experiencing.
There is a lot of guilt because I hadn't seen him for over a year.
Luckily I had spoken to him the week previously so he knew I loved him.

I got up to give my eulogy - the hardest thing I have ever had to write - and I could barely read it through my tears.

My father was the man that taught me about cars.
Before I had even started school, I would lie on the driveway underneath a car with my Dad and pass him the correct spanners & sockets when he asked for them. I would get horribly dirty (to my mothers horror) but we would both be laughing uncontrollably.
I like to think I have inherited his love of cars. He was a Ford man through and through so the day I came home in a VL commodore, well you can imagine. I told him to take it for a drive so we went out and he absolutely fanged it. Wheel spin, drifto corners etc. When we got back home I asked him what he thought and his reply was
"It's ok"
to me that spoke volumes that he couldn't find fault with the car.

He was with me when I bought my Astina too!

He was one of those people that could fix anything. A few times I would ring him up and instead of saying such and such on the car needs fixing, I would say "The car broke" LOL

The hardest thing I have ever done in my life was to identify him on the day of the funeral. Lying there in the coffin, it just wasn't him if that makes sense?
I expected him to get up and kick my butt for getting rid of his furniture and clothing etc. Emptying his flat was an enormous task. I couldn't have done it without my husband's help and the help of my godfather Dennis.

His face is going to haunt me for some time yet but I will have all of you, my AGT family, to keep my mind off things.

Your well wishes and support means the world to me, I cannot thankyou enough.
Please do me one favour, pick up the phone right now and call your family and tell them you love them for me? I can never tell my father how much I love him and miss him so please, make a special effort today, right now, to reach out to your family and remind them that they are loved.

Lots of love and hugs and thanks,
Kitty

Keep your eyes peeled for the thread "Kitty's New Car"
it's a doozy!!!
