Sorry about your loss.

I'm off down to Kent tommorrow to pick up my stepkids Grandma. They lost their Grandad three weeks ago. He just dropped dead on his way home from work, Pulmonary Embolism went straight away aged 66.

Hopefully a week away will give her a bit of a break in different surroundings.

Seems I've encountered a lot of death recently.

Tuesday morning a mates girlfriend lost her 13year old daughter.

3 weeks ago the kids grandad.

2 weeks before that my wifes best buddy at work died of cancer.

Its not been a good year so far.

It is horrid to lose anyone at anytime - but to raise a glass for them shows they will always be remembered - One raised Orange Juice (fortified) to your dearest memory of a loved one!

Cheerz!!

May she live long and happily in your memories

[STEViE]

My tumbler of Bruichladdich is raised to loved Nans everywhere.

[ForestFred]

Glass raised , spirit drunk ,memories recalled

[BikerGran]

I've opened my new bottle of Baileys in honour of your Nan - and all other grandparents who are missed by their families.

Cheers!

I'll raise a glass to all family and friends thats gone before us. Blessings be on them all.

[Friar Tuck]

Loving memories to everone's lost loved ones.

A glass of Bells, raised to them all!

[Bosun]

i shall raise a mug of tea as early
in memory of all

[Doro]

I like to put some cut flowers in a vase on certain anniversaries to remember my grandad (died 2 years ago) and grandma (3 years ago) cos they both loved flowers (paternal grandma, maternal grandad).

My dad's dad died 26 years ago and I remember him in my heart only

biggest shock this year was my ex-sister's husband who died on new years eve from a sudden heart attack - fit bloke, didn't drink or smoke, only 43.

apart from that I have mercilessly suffered no other loss

so yes, I'll raise a glass and drink to the lost......and this is a good thread to have methinks

[HAPPY WANDERER]

[Sir Ewok]

| am always willing to raise a glass to absent friends........


To my younger Brother, aged 24, former squaddie with the Queen's Reg; Died in the Paisley Train Crash 26 odd years ago and Buried in Scotland.

To my Dad, the greatest dad ever, Had to try and resucitate him, but it was no good. He had got Pancreatic Cancer, which the quacks had mis-diagnosed.

To my mum, who died from complications of several Strokes over a period of six weeks....

And to all the bikers that have gone before and those that will come after.

Slainte......

[krammer]

[Shep]

To absent friends.

[Rock Ape]

Sorry for you loss kitkatman! Heres to your gran, i didn't know her, but my wishes and thought are with both you and her at this moment in time. Cheers!!!

[kitkatman]

thank you all.... i'm fuckin heart brokin....tonight i feel like a c@@t, these last 2 weeks have changed my out look of life, i know i am in a loveless mariage and i have known that for over a year, the reason i am still here, i will not abandon my daughter, she is my reason for being here and the way i am looking at it, the setee will only get more comfee,if it was'nt for chelsea, i would have split from my wife, i will never blame her for that, i brought her into this world and the amount of joy she brings me, i could never leave her........ i am sorry for being this emotional, its been a bad day!.......thanks for the support, it means a lot...

[Sir Ewok]

I loved my two son's as well, but sometimes it is better to split than go on as you are. If your relationship is steady (ie no shouting, screaming or violence) then it is possible to support your daughter within the relationship, however crap it is. I found out after my kids grew up that they had heard most of our arguments, including the one about my eldest sons parentage. I was sure he was my brothers, as he was born about the time I discovered they were having an affair. We both talked it through a few years ago and ended up in tears, but with problem resolved. Sometimes you can hurt your kids without realising it.
Obviuosly, you know your situation better than anyone else and I wouldn't dream of asking you as it is private. Only you can make those kind of decisions.
Hope things work out for you and you little'un.........

[krammer]

i'm very sorry to hear things are not going well for you mate. it's easy for me to say but please don't think i'm being flippant when i say that sometimes a parting of the ways is better for your littlun as they can always pick up an atmosphere. life, as you are only too aware is short mate and you owe it to yourself to live it as happily as you can. i have pals who have gone through similar experiences and basically the time they spend with their kids now is of a much better quality than the corrosive effects of living in a sham marriage. keep your chin up mate, all the best, mark.

[Rock Ape]

if theres something worth saving, you go all out to save it, if there isn't, dont waste yer time and move on noe..cos its gunna happen eventualy. dont waste any more moments, you only live in regret
