So sad........

It's been a very sad week....

PP's nephew passed away on Wednesday.  

Only two years younger than me, I knew him as a loving and devoted son, husband and father, totally committed to his family... a kind and gentle man.

In such a short time he had so much to deal with.....neurosurgery, chemotherapy, aggressive drug treatments, a gruelling course of radiotherapy......  all of which he bore with an indomitable spirit and as much humour and good grace as he could muster. 

Sadly, despite a herculean effort, the disease proved too cruel and relentless. 

Those left behind, his mum and dad, wife, son and daughter, his relatives, as well as his many friends, are now struggling to come to terms with his sudden loss.

So, very, very sad......

Ooh boy, so sad to read... my deepest sympathy to you and your family, although I understand you are part of the "cold" side (?) (i'm no part of the family, you said)

But just like you wrote, that doesn't matter in times like these. Your friends and loved ones, and you support each other, that's all what counts.

Take care in these troubled times
