In a strange turn of events, less than 24 hours after I gave advice to a fellow grower (who's father is in the hospital) about getting through tough times even when you think you can't I've had to draw on that advice myself. My own father passed away yesterday. He was in hospital due to recent fall caused by weakness due to a bladder infection. He was supposed to go home yesterday but sometime during the night took a turn for the worse and ended up very, very sick with septicemia (blood poisoning, a bacterial infection through the whole body). The whole family was with him as he tried fighting the inevitable til the end. He always loved hearing the progress on the pumpkin plants and seeing the results and I'm sure he will still be following along.
