Goodbye, my darling

[journeyman Mick]

After many years of battle, multiple operations, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and a final stay in hospital for both of us that lasted for more than six weeks the love of my life has departed this world for a better one. Left around 4.30 this morning, in her sleep with a smile on her face.

Cherish the memories which won't fade. Time will help ease the pain.I'm in total agreeance with the bendy guy above.

Just remember if you need anyone to talk to drop a line here, You have helped so many here, so there will always be someone here willing to talk.

look after your self, and keep dropping in here, remember a laugh is good for you even at this time (Even if it feels like you dont need it)

[Glenn_M]

[jmk89]

Mick

I am saddened to hear of your loss, but relieved that the pain and suffering of the last while has finished. There is real consolation in the thought that LOYL passed quietly and graciously.

If there is anything that you think I might be able to do, sing out.

Cheers

Jeremy

[Cliff Rogers]

Michael

Not just any person does deserve your teardrops, and those who do deserve, would not force you to weep.

Do not cry, because it has ended. Smile, because it was.

I know you have friends & family close by but feel free to call me if you need to.

[lubbing5cherubs]

oh mate my heart goes out to you during this time. you are in my prayers. Mate please accept my condolences to you and your loss I prayer that you have family around during this hard time

sorry to hear of your loss.:sad1:

[Paws]

I've been wondering how things were going with you and your wife and for some reason you've been in my thoughts a lot today.

Hope you can still feel her spirit with you even though she's departed from her body. You seem such a good person that I'm sure you are surrounded with much love at the moment but know that you will also be facing the great hole that the loss of a loved one brings.

All the best.

Jenny

[MICKYG]

Mick, I cannot say any thing which will ease your pain, We are thinking of you.

[Harry II]

Stay strong Mic, keep your mates around you.

[Green Woodchips]

Dear Mick,

I'm greatly saddened by this news; life is so short.

The tender words you have spoken here and no doubt the commitment you have shown are a living statement to the rest of us to treasure other people while we still have breath.

I know a lot of jokes go on in these forums about SWMBO, but I'm sure your wife felt treasured and loved by you through her trials. The way you have honoured her here reminds the rest of us to be lavish in kindness, truth and grace.

Peace,
GW

Thanks Al, that's great and I'd like to contribute to the cost.

HOW ABOUT A FORUM DONATION?


I was thinking that another gesture, and one we could all participate in, would be to make a donation to a cancer charity or the hospital where Mick and his wife spent their last weeks together. If we put in say $5 or $10 each, it would be a tangible way in which we could help and pay or respects to Mick and the family.

We could do it online, elecronic transfer into an account or pay it in at the bank and then, when it's all in, send it to which ever charity or hospital Mick chooses. I'm happy to coordinate this but am open to suggestions.

If I get enough response tonight, I'll open another thread with the details and acknowledge all those who made donations.

[DavidG]

My condolences Mick.


Gumby :2tsup: Details?

[Andy Mac]

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Mick, may she now rest peacefully. You have both shown great strength. Please take care of yourself.

Regards,

[dai sensei]

My heartfelt condolences Mick. I'm glad she passed away peacefully and with a smile on her face, no doubt thinking of better times with yourself.
