I disappeared for a long time and I apologize for my long silence.
In March I had to go into hospital for major spinal surgery.
As I began my convalescence and was about to post on RWI again my father's condition, which was suffering from Alzheimer's in its final stages, seriously worsened.
So I took the time to look after him during his final weeks.
The last few days were terrible.
He called me by the first names of other men in my family, sometimes my uncle, sometimes my cousins, while he spoke to me of his son ... knowing that I was in fact his only son.
On Sunday April 21 my father was hospitalized and placed on respiratory assistance, but his kidneys stopped working and after a few hours his heart stopped beating.
His funeral took place on Monday April 29th.
I'm extremely sad, but I'm also relieved because I know that his suffering is over.
I'm going to slowly get back to work on my current watchmaking projects.
Those of you who are waiting for watches or dials from me need not worry, I will work as fast as I can to complete all these projects.
And those who have sent me messages for advice or requests while I've been away, please be patient ... I'll get back to you in the next few weeks.
