Its been almost a year
« on: October 23, 2012, 07:26:43 am »
So the date is almost upon us, its been nearly 12 months since i lost my 16 year old son, We have good and bad days, but the bad days are getting a lot less, he also would of been 17 on the 3rd of this month
Funny industry this, a lot of people comment on how us carpet cleaners are individuals, but i tell you what, the support i had from this industry and this board when it happened was unbielevable!!!! I can still remember writing " I don't know why i put it on here " , I'm sure it was Ian Gourley that summoned it up perfectly, He said we're a community!!! He was spot on, I'd like to thank you all again for your support at the time and the continued support through this very very dark time in my family's life.

I have also attached a photo of the cert we've just received with the grand total of the money that was raised in the memory of my son for the charity that he was doing the run for, but sadly was killed before he could do it. This is another reason why i'm posting it here, this community was responible for raising close to a quarter of that!!!! Amazing, just amazing!!!!  :) :)

Thank you all ever so much, i would love to thank you all individually, but there is so many :)

Billy and Tanya

:)  You're a glass half full person Billy which is what gets you through the worst times.

That's a stupendous achievement :)

Hi Guys

The way Billy has conducted himself on this forum right from the beginning of this tragedy has been a great credit to himself and inspirational to all of us.

Lets hope should we ever be placed in a similar position we will show the same courage.

Well done to Billy and Tanya.

Cheers

Doug
