my gran died in march this year after 8 weeks in hospital with cancer,she was very ill and couldnt take anymore.I read some where
"dont cry because its over smile because its happened"
My gran couldnt take any more and in the end. As sad as it is was it was the best thing for her!
time is a great healer!

I am not going into it to much, but I know a little what your are going through, it is not nice in anyway this time of year is alot harder, I have 2 people in my family going through this at the mo, my sis inlaw, and my baby neice 2 years, life is poope sometimes, we have to be strong for family, keep you chin uo m8, i dont want to think what you are going throught right now, but i honestly feels for you from the heart.

one thing i will say and this is it: Your Uncle would want you to be happy for you, and your family. You raise a glass to him think of the good times, it does helps i do know this from experience  :) :( he will not want you to be sad. A smile from you all will make him even more proud of you than he already is.

Bless you and your family at this hard time.

A very sad story Terry, and all the best at this difficult time.

A very good point made above though.
He must have been so proud.

I lost my Mam on 11th July this year to lung cancer. Try and be positive and think of all the good memories :)

I'm thinking of running the Great North Run next year to raise funds for
St David's Hospice in Llandudno. I don't know what we would have done without their care.
