Anyhoo love ya wherever you are, and rest easy. x
Rick, I saw your post and wanted to write something but I don't know what. Best wishes to you Rick. I guess no-one could possibly know what it feels like until they have to go through the same thing. You're a lovely bloke mate and I'm sure you Mom's right by your side everyday.

Good thoughts from Rick. My mum went a couple of years ago after 8 years downhill slide with alzheimers. Dad went a year before her. Both missed. But I I've got a cure. He's Charlie my 9 month old grandson. best medicine in the world.
Completely understand and mirror your sentiments here as lost my old woman in July to bowel/liver cancer at the youngish age of 57, she was only diagnosed 10 weeks previously, I'm happy in odd way it wasnt a long drawn out suffering though, but I still feel she was robbed before her time. I obviously miss her and think about her alot, and its made me realise life is short, things can change very quickly, and behind someones frown there might be alot of stuff going on upstairs. I agree though, cherish your mum, as you only get the one, the 32 years I had with her will always be remembered.
Hi Ricky keep your chin up mate. I lost my father in 1999. Mums and dads are always in your mind. It's like I haven't seen him for a few weeks. I just wish he could have seen the things that I have done with my life and also my family. Miss you dad xx
