    Give em an extra hug.

    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.

    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
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    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.

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

    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"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.

    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.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
