Sad news indeed, but please take consolation in that you are still here, photographing, and posting. We all hope you will go on doing so, for a long time to come.
As others have said, keep photographing - and posting. You have taken many superb images in your time, and I am sure there are many more for you to capture. This will keep you going.
Many here are now facing a similar situation, to quote an old Aussie (probably English in its origin) expression, "starting to fall off our perches".
2021 has not been a good year for some. Covid has claimed a few of my good friends. My dear mother passed away in April at age 101, a sad situation for the family but she had been severely unwell for a long time, so it was expected. Two of our beloved family cats also went, from old age, after long and happy lives. Earlier this year I developed a heart condition and had surgery for it last month - I'm now about 75% recovered and fast gaining my old energy, there is a way to go yet and my cardiologist has warned that at my age (70s) the condition may recur. Ditto a cataract in my right eye which is worse and has be dealt with next February. My human condition...
My partner strongly urges me to limit some activities, notably too much reading and posting on the internet. Which I will do.
Photography goes on as before, almost, for now. And keeps me going.
So goes life. Time passes, everything changes.
May I say again, we all look forward to having you with us for a long while.
