well , friday night my last grandparent died. she was 91 and had a long life. she was living in a home and had been for several years, she had dementia and i think it was time. god i hope i never end up like that, i would rather die young and keep my dignity.
i told my son as we came way from her 90th birthday party at the home last year, " never let me get like that jim, i would rather be shot than get like that" to which he replied " can i stab you dad instead as i have never used my sword on my wall" :shock: needless to say i took the sword off him( ornimental one from a car boot) for a couple of months
 
thanks, but it doesn't feel as sad as when my other nan died a couple of years ago. she was only 74 and had plenty of life in her. it was a real shock when she went, but this one had had a couple of shut downs since x mas and we expected it

That's real sad mate, but then, at the same time she was 91, and that's a fantastic long life to have lead.

I lost my last grandparent in 94. Just over a year later, I lost my favourite Uncle, favourite Aunt and My dad. He was only 59.

Death's a sad thing, but I always like to celebrate the life that was lived, not the death that brought it to an end.


I like the sound of your son.

Pity you don't live in London. He could have trained at my club!!!!!

My nan died a few years ago and had dementia, she was also in a home for the last year of her life but died peacefully when her liver stopped working in her sleep which is a nice way to go

Use to spend every weekend at my nans for years and had good times there, miss her alot

Well wishes to your family
 
Well I have views that are quite 'off on a tangent' about sad things like this, as my father was diagnosed with lung cancer just before christmas.

He has just finished the chemo and we have to wait 6 weeks before we know what to do next.

We have been told that we have 12 months max...so it's kinda like grieving for the living.

Obviously I am a daddy's girl so I'm finding this tough.

All I can say to everyone is...don't put yourself through the regret of never having the time...spend time with those that matter.

Sorry if that was a bit to deep, but I have more Big Issues then a homeless Nottingham man, at present.
 
tough luck Jay, remeber the good times, and stay in there scruffy looking, someone I know was given 6 months and is still with us 2 years later.
 
That's bad news Scruffy looking.

Cancer took my dad and my Aunt (she died while my dad was in Hospital..she was my Dad's baby sister)

It is tough, but it is well worth spending what time you can.
 
Sorry to hear that guys, never an easy time or way to lose someone you care about! I guess you just look for small mercies.
 
thanks for the letters and hope you enjoy the time you have left scruffy .

did anyone else see the story about the girl with cancer at christmas. she stopped the therapy as she wanted to spend the time she had left with her family and not in hospitals. she died a couple of weeks ago, she was 16 years old. she always had a smile on her face and her family said she was always upbeat. how the **** does a 16 year old kid do that...... and i think i have problems sometimes :roll: :(

the worst story though, the one that still almost brings a tear to my eye even today is about a 10 year old boy. he had terminal cancer and was told he didn't have very long to live , he asked his mum, that after he was dead if she wouldn't leave him alone in the dark, as he was scared of it. his mum put a small solar light next to his grave aftwe he was gone. i dont know if its because he was the same age as my lad but it really gets to me and the bravery of that little boy , not of dying but , but of being alone in the dark. he's my ****ing hero and if ever it hits the fan, i know if that little lad can face what he did then i can get through my **** too .

the fact the the local council made his mum take the light away because it breached some local authority bullshit just makes me amazed :twisted:
 
there are some real ****ing jobs worths!

bastards, like it would have hurt to leave one of those little solar lights there....
