Bad news

July 5, 2014 By nextphaseinfitness Leave a Comment

Today as I was about 5ks from the end of the days stage, I received a message that my father had passed away, couple of hours earlier.
When I left home to come to Spain and walk the Camino, Dad was in hospital and not at all well. I thought long and hard about cancelling. In regard to his health, Dad has had his ups and downs lately but always when we expected the worst, he would make a comeback, fitter than ever. I really did think he would go on for ever, and be there when I arrived home.
But that is not to be. Tomorrow is my last scheduled day of walking. I have changed my flight and leave Spain in three days time to be home in time for Dad’s funeral. Dad was aged 88.
