Give em an extra hug.

[98tls]

Got some bad news on sunday about a very special lady who we thought had had a miraculous recovery from cancer but then out of nowhere had a bad fall resulting in breaking her shoulder in 3 places,tests were done and have been told she has 4-5 days to go,feeling a bit numb really and wishing i had said more before she reached the point shes at now as in she doesnt have a clue who anybody is,anyway seems fitting to just say give your loved ones an extra hug as it can all change so quick.

:hug: from me to you :)


Sorry to read this dude. Not nice at all. I have a cousin with cancer & a terminally ill father so know what you mean about saying all you have to say while you will can. Cousin has a husband & 5 kids, bloody awful situation. It sure does make you thankful for what you have alright.



The power of prayer, don't under estimate it :)

Was at a funeral today - a great guy and a Ford man to boot (You should see his XA GT coupe).

Taken to soon by the big 'C' - the kind of guy who never judged anybody and who nobody I've met could think of a single bad thing to say of him.

Sad, bloody sad.:weep:

So I can feel a little of what you're going through Mike.

[BiK3RChiK]

So sorry, mate!

My dad died of cancer. He too was given 3 or 4 days to live... He lasted 6 weeks. I lived at the other end of the country at the time and it all seemed so unreal.

My heart does a lurch every time I hear stories like this... very, very sad.

Cheers Tom,funny you came across this as the lady in question raised 3 sons who went on to be cops.....twins and a younger brother all in the armed offenders or training them,my mother went to the hospital today to spend some time with her sister and found the 3 of them in tears,at the time Judith was pretty peaceful and mum said at one stage she sat up looked at these 3 hard buggers in tears and said "whats wrong nobodys died yet":clap:mum said she didnt know wether to laugh or cry...amazing lady,sadly in the space of a few hours she has declined but kept her sense of humour till the end it seems.

[Beemer]

Unfortunately it always seems to take the decent sorts, the ones who really will be missed, so I know where you are coming from.

I lost my father to cancer in 2001 and my mother six months ago Wednesday. Dad was ill for years and that was really hard on my mother as she lived through it with him. When she developed symptoms last year she said she knew it was cancer so she didn't go to the doctor even though she told her family she had. She was apparently petrified after seeing what dad had gone through. By the time she was hospitalised in October it was too late and she was given four to six months to live. She died three weeks later.

Mother's Day was hard because it was the first one without her, and tomorrow will be hard too - it's my graduation and apart from my husband I won't have any of my family there to cheer me on.

Cancer is bloody nasty and I hope I don't lose any more loved ones to it. I'll be thinking of you, Mike.

[Grahameeboy]

Take each day....hugs daily, 10 times a day

[martybabe]

Sorry to here your news . It took my mom and a very good friend away, feel for ya mate. :(

[MSTRS]

Whilst I commiserate with your (imminent?) loss, no excuse is necessary to tell/show you love those close to you. Life is fragile, and longevity a lottery.

[007XX]

Really sorry to hear Mike...sorry, i've never met you, but you still get a big :hug: from me...

007XY and I lost his mother in a similar fashion, so our thoughts go out to you.

[Colapop]

No big speach, you got it. :hug:

[vifferman]

Yup, I've started communicating with my family again, after finding out last week my mother has breast cancer. My Dad died when I was 20 (and one of his brothers and his dad followed in the next fortnight). My father-in-law died a few weeks ago, and we're still dealing with it. It wasn't unexpected (he had very bad emphysema, and had died and been revived a few times in the last few years), but even so, he'll be sorely missed. I'd known him for 30 years, so he was more of a father to me than my own. Blah blah blah.... etc etc...

Here's my philosophy: be like me, and make no real impression on the world, so when you die, there are no ripples....

A p/t right?

'Cos you KNOW it ain't goin' to work dude.:hug:

[Crisis management]

My thoughts are with you and your family Mike, no matter the age it's always hard to lose someone, hang onto those good memories of her and celebrate her life as well as mourning your loss.

Nup.

My father-in-law's death really got me thinking (all the more so, given that I had to write and deliver his eulogy). He was a small guy (about 5'2" or summat) but left a HUGE hole, due to the impression he made on people. He had a lot of friends, bazillions of relatives, and is very greatly grieved by all who knew him.

I kinda see your point - although I have to say it's pretty twisted. It would be a sad existence if we all aspired to never have any negative or positive influence upon the people around us.
Sure, you might not be too sad when a life that hasn't been worth living comes to an end - but it's much more sad to waste your life away aspiring have such a passing.

When my grandfather passed away about a year and a half ago everyone in our family were grieving, but only for our own loss. My grandfather had a full life and given his outset achieved a lot and had a positive influence upon a lot of people. I'm positively certain none of those people would rather not have known him and thus not be sad that he died. Saying goodbye over a crappy cellphone connection to the hospital in Denmark was really hard and I had a hard time coping with it, being on the other side of the planet trying to settle into a new life (it was only a week after we arrived, so pretty swift). I can't begin to imagine what it would be like for my grandmother who have been sick and now have fairly limited mobility - they were married for 55 years and bam he's gone, she was certain she'd be gone before him. Do you suggest that she would rather never have met my grandfather?

[Edbear]

+1! :yes:...

Ditto there,big :hug: from me to anyone in the same situation,some people can't talk about having cancer,others don't know how to talk to you about it.
Looking towards my 5 yr clearance in October this year,gotta keep positive,and the odd prayer helps.
Know the feeling you have,my mum,mil,daughter have all had operations for cancer,mum and my daughter and myself has been genetic,just myself and daughter grabbed the rogue gene off mums' family.
