Goodbye to Opa

Last night at 6:17pm my Opa passed away. We arrived at 5pm for a visit before I was to head back to Auckland. He had been asleep since 12:30am and the doctor came to visit at 5pm-ish and said he would probably not wake up.
He didn't expect him to go that quickly. It was peaceful and it was a relief that he went in such a way. He had motor-neuron-disease, so the death was not unexpected, but just happened more quickly than everyone thought. It was very sad but in the same time, nice to see him pass the way he wanted to.

So, my travel plans to Germany have been postponed. I should be at the airport right now, but I have had to cancel my flights til after the funeral. I don't know my plans yet, so watch this space.
