Least it’s not turned into a “footballers sounding like” thread and we’ve had no straighteners offered.

Moderators Casino Posted February 26, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2020 Lost both of mine in the last ten years Very easy to take as both lost the dementia battle About 3 weeks back, for the first time,i wanted to see em once again Dunno why, very strange Anyway, theres a fella posted on this thread lost his dad a good few years back He mustve been late teens when it happened Thats shit At least mine got to see me grow up(ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted February 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2020 Lost my Dad mid 20's. His appetite for scotch and long hours on the road got shut of him. Been told tonight my Mum's clock is into its final days. She's 82, has cancer and whilst deeply distressing , it is in all honesty the natural order. She watched her grandson get buried 4 weeks ago and that seems to have finished her off. It's not right, burying your kids/grandkids. I'm pretending it's ok, and that it's what happens but by fuck my heart is in a million pieces. She'll get the best last few days we can give her.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2020 I reckon my dad would still be my go-to person for advice on absolutely everything at 86 had he not passed away 13 years ago. Many times over that 13 years I've wondered what dad would have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can pull ourselves apart overthinking these things and trying to find reasons and justify it. end of the day losing a loved one is a truly awful experience. I hope your mum lives the rest of her days happily mate surrounded by her family however many days or weeks it may be god bless Edited February 26, 2020 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 My Dad went 10 years ago. Lincoln at home in the FA Cup was the night iirc. Mother battles on and bosses a couple of posters on here Looks like MiL is next. Been told today no more chemo or stem cell. One last go with thalidomide and that’s it. Currently in The Christie unit at Oldham not well at all Its all a bit shit. Reading posts of other folk puts it all in perspective though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 My old man was only 65. No Age that. ive not had a drink for 4 months (bar one pint) but will be having a quiet few pints Saturday afternoon in his memory. One of the things we used to do when I was home and when I lived in Bolton. A Coupon, pints and snooker. So Saturday it’s down memory lane for me in his honour. Will be me, a newspaper and my old mans spirit by my side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted February 26, 2020 Members Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just finished work, get my phone out and my old man rings me, He’s watched the game, and we talk about the game and tactics and decisions. We’ve done this after every nearly every game since I’ve been here. My old man is my best mate I have absolutely no idea how I’d cope without him. My condolences goes out to all who have been affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
