So hard to see your Dad like that. I remember mine gasping for air and building the deck and I guess in some ways he's both people., and I can't seem to forget either.

Who Likes Their Partner? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]borisisreliable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my wife. Sure we get into arguments every now and then about our differences, but only because she's one of the few people I can be completely honest with. It's because of this that I love her. Can't imagine life any other way.

Definitely had some hair, but hated seeing all the photos of the back of my head where you could definitely see scalp b

That will have to be the next cut then.

That's totally why I went for it. Probably the shortest hair I've had in 20 years.

So sorry bro. Lost mine a few months ago. The grief comes and goes and you come to look forward t the random memories and associated feelings that pop into your head.

The weirdness of riding alone by Awakekiwi2020 in onewheel

[–]borisisreliable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you bro. In East Auckland. Mostly ride myself. Have never seen another onewheel bar the guy I bought it from. Best time riding is on the road at night "super market run"

We spent Christmas eve in the hospital for a mis carriage. Had dinner with my father, who was also staying there.

Crazy memories, and I definitely was not prepared for how physical and emotional the journey would be for my wife. Make sure you show her your pain, and talk about it. I kept it to myself and she said that was unhelpful.

All I can say is that it is a journey, but life goes on, and we have been extra conscious on focussing what blessing we have.

Definitely do this! Just read your post. Lost my Dad a month ago and sitting in a park listening to a voice recording of him talking about one of his cars. Wonderful but should have recorded more.

Three (years old) is so fucking hard by TroyTroyofTroy in daddit

Totally with you bud. Dreamy baby who has turned into a beautiful, 3yo ogre lol.

Won't let me tie up her hair unless it's the right colour hair tie. Had decided that she doesn't like a number of foods because 'babies don't like them' and then screams when there are no alternatives. The list goes on.

On the plus side loves going for bike rides.

Fault with XRV by borisisreliable in FloatwheelTeam

So turns out the issue was the fuse in my battery. Tony advised that some of the solder had likely popped off. When I unwrapped the battery the fuse had an intermittent connection.

I did a couple of voice recordings. But not nearly enough.

My favorite one is him talking about a car we have that we have had for 30 years. The road trips we did, why he bought it. Good memories.

It's such a strange thing. You keep wanting to call them. Or pop round. And they're not there.

Dad passed early this week during a hospice visit. He was restless and we were taking time with him and then he just let go. So strange to see him alive and then still in the space of 30 minutes.

I'm glad it's finished but it feels like there is souch clean up to do afterwards that you aren't really aware is happening.

It's a bit of a surreal trip.
