My dad, Gerald Louis Rossouw, passed away this morning after a short sick bed but with great suffering to him. GOOD BYE DADDIO.
I will miss him a lot as he always had good chats and very sharp sense of humour.
My sister Jinny was with him for the last week and helped to keep him very comfortable and to die with the utmost dignity. THANK YOU JINNY.
How lucky was I to have had the last weekend about a month ago with him. I had the time and privilege to say all I wanted to say to him and to hear his "version" of his life and trials and tribulations. We had a few tears that weekend but mostly lots of jokes and laughs. He beleived to give all the "flowers" in life and not after death. I could do that.
I do think I had it good with him as my father as he was a lot older when I was born than with my other siblings. (he then had brains to raise a child!!!) don't get me wrong he would have loved that chirp.... anyway I was rather spoiled by him all my life. So I have only very good memories.
My tears today are for myself in a ver selfish way.
Dad I hope you and Pierre and now having a ball together and I am sure the two of you will sort that "place" out in no time, so that when we join you all is done and dusted.
Have fun .
Loved you lots Dad and will miss you.

Thankyou Sus for your support this week, Dads face lit up when I spoke of you till he fell into a coma. We have grown even closer now and for that I thank him. lv u. jinny
