Last Chrismas 16:50 - Dec 24 with 8410 views2Thomas2Bowles

I'm not generally the sort to post my own wows, only really when provoked to do so when someone digs me out about none attendance, not that many have had a chance of that this year.

There has been plenty of misery around this past year, not feeling sorry for myself but for those that have lost loved ones.

Anyway
Got diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks ago.

The hardest part is my 2 girls, both adult now at 33 and 27 who lost their mum 5/6 years past from the same. It is, without a doubt, my breaking point and tears my soul.

No one really wants to give up on life, even if it becomes unbearable. it had been hard combined with being paralysed waist down the past 10 years, life it's self is a wonderful thing and I will not be going gently into that good night but it is now a closer reality. A year at most but likely somewhat less.

Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I'm not religious but at my mums funeral, she had chosen this hymn that touched me deeply. when you are reminded how wonderful this world is made by God or not.



I'll try to be a right royal pain in the arse for a while yet and look forward to your downvotes with a smile you SoB'S

Merry Christmas

Mate, I'm so fkn sorry to hear this. It makes my shit year seem as paltry as the pound shop trinkets and baubles strewn among the pines at the bottom of a council dump skip the second week of January.

You take care my old QPR Blood brother.

I feel a bit shit about the timing of this post but when is a good time, spent the last few days with my girls and maybe needed to spill it.

It's Pancreatic cancer, if you know anything about that then I do not have to say much more.

I have no self-pity just a great fear for my youngest who has many problems.

I'll leave this now and maybe come back to it in a few weeks but thank you all for your kind words.

Desperate times 2T, but don't give up. A bloke I know has T4 lung cancer, weeks to live they told him. Anyway, nearly two years later he's still bugging us! A 'sparky', even with the meds he still works one week on, one week off.

Oh ffs I can’t remember if I have agreed with you or thought you talk bllox but either way keep your opinions flowing .
You know sometimes supporting this car crash of a football club can really get you down but coming on here reading other people’s opinions can make you feel better because you know there are other poor bstards who feel the same as you no matter what side of the fence you sit , you sir are one I will always take time to read and respect your views.
Best of luck for you’re battle ahead , prayers with you
