Sorry for your loss,I do feel for your son that his grandad passed away when he had just become a parent,my mum lost a much loved family dog when my first son was born and I felt it took something away from it somehow,sorry not very good with words. Gdd will help to keep you busy and you were right you must keep focused on your shop I bet your Pops was so proud of how well you are doing .

Mooloo, my DGS, who is 18, is called William, and I said at the time it was a good, strong name.

Still thinking if you all

So sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you.

We are all fine.
Tired but fine.
Mum is doing great guns so to speak.
I'm just very tired. I shall be back at work tomorrow. I popped in today, and looked at the work load etc.
I did take down a sign the staff out up saying work would take two weeks though! No it won't. If anything I will be sewing more to keep me busy.
I will still succeed and make my Dad proud. Theoretically speaking.
He would not be impressed if I went to pieces, or lost my business.

He also wouldn't want you running yourself ragged though.

Obviously there are going to be some huge decisions to make about your Mum now and investigating options, talking to the right people may very well eat into your time. I'd put the sign back up -if you stay on schedule fine -if you don't customers are already prewarned and can't moan.

One day at a time Missus - and remember to delegate too !

I will tell people individually how long their job will be. I could loose people even coming through the doors with the sign in the window.
There are new sewers, so I am sure we will be on top of the work soon enough.
My daughter and my brother are doing the financial stuff with Mum.
My brother and his partner are able to stay with Mum and between their children's homes, for a few weeks. As long as it takes. They don't work , except on their house. Where my sisters partner is working and needs to get back to his Buisness ASAP.
Mum doesn't want a fuss, no wake etc.

Can your Mum cope with living alone though ?
My impression is she was very reliant on your Dad.

We will find the help she needs.
I am confident that she will be fine. As long as she can access the internet, and I take her shopping, etc and do the housework it will be ok. And I will look for a carer etc if we can't cope.
She will probably go to France for the summer.
We will let her decide where she needs the help the most.

I know the staff tried their hardest running the shop in difficult circumstances. I am sorry for your loss.
