3 Years Ago Today


Recommended Posts

since my dear old Dad passed away due to cancer. aged 52

 

not a single day gone by when you hasvt been thought of, wish i could see your face again. But the day you passed meant no more suffering, although you handled it so well. Brave man, my hero. Your first granddaughter was born 28th October 2012,,,, exactly 1 month before your own Birthday

 

im certainly having a few pints for you tonight Dad :drink:

 

peaceful easy feeling :thumbs:

that cancer is some cruel shite what effects everyone at some point in there life ,............whever direct or through family members and friends,..........the c word honestly scares me as ive seen the worst suffering ever,............fooking screaming in pain .............until jabbed with morphine and muscle relaxing agent......

it haunts me everyday,..until the day we had our last kiss......

im so sorry for your loss of your dad,............its fooking heart wrenching having to see the one you love suffering knowing there going to die..........you wouldn't see an animal go through it...........they fight with dignity and like you I will owe my late wife the dignity in return and that means doing what they would of wanted...........

sleep in peace to any child ,or adult who has passed from this horrid disease ,.....the disease what the government don't give a shite about because when one of theres is diagnosed they have the best private care they can have........I wont support cancer research for my own reasons of being let down .........but we been supporting st margrets hospice.........what a wonderfull organisation.....and even two clubs I use too play rugby for are having a charity match in honour of my mrs and our worthy charity ........

Cheers fellas :thumbs:

 

Just needed to unload my mind a bit.

 

And deepest sympathys to those who have experienced the same.

 

Whippet99 although i dont know you ive resd your posts and feel your pain. Although what ive gone through andvwhat you go through is complete different. After all.... you expect your parents to go before you.... but too lose a partner is a diffrrent matter. As i have seen the effect my dads death had on my mother.... and more so the effect it had on his own parents..... his dad, died only 3 month after him, cancer again... but i suspect it stemmed from a broken heart....

 

I do not support cancer research....yeah they do a great job... but the treatment they find is to expensive for the govetnment to support..... sad really :no:

rip rabbithunters old man......... :cray:

 

my mum got the all clear last year.........my grandad (her dad) died of it few years before and i never met my dads parents because of it......... :cray:

 

and reading this thread proves that the charity match is a more than worthwhile event.........im proud that ive done a little bit towards raising a few quid towards whatever charity newkid decides on........rabbithunter not sure if your a fisherman but theres places left mate if you want to join in??? even if you dont fish its more of a day having a laugh with a bit of fishing thrown while raising some money to a good cause......... :thumbs:

I, too, have been touched indirectly, so far, by that curse. So many friends and family .....

 

I'd like to show you all a short story, by an author I'm a massive fan of. Andrew Vachss. It's called Dope Fiend. It hits the mark, with me.

 

thats some emotional reading right there pete..........makes you realise about petty shite on the internet REALLY has no bearing at times............dont no if you still blocked me or not but if you read this post i learnt alot from that link in a short time.........cancer really is a f***ing horrible thing.......... :cray:

Lurch; I have the ability to read, by choice, any individual post you make. I read that one and a few others. Hell, I even 'Liked' one of yours! :laugh:

 

Okay, mate. No hard feelings. I'm off to UnBlock you now.

 

And, yes, Andrew Vachss IS the f**king Daddy! I can't reccomend him too strongly. Try tracking back, through that link, and having a look at some of the other short stories he has on there. Some seriously good shit!

 

I have the vast majority of his books here, on a dedicated shelf. The " Burke " novels are wanking material! :yes:
