I feel glad for me but so sorry for GW at the same time

I quite agree that I hope you are still beating the doctors

Of course also wishing you all the best GW.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes, appreciate it. I'm still feeling well. Getting a bit fed up with various people phoning me and talking about my death! Latest is the hospice. I am sure they do a good job, but really it can get depressing. I have my 2 kids and my grandchildren staying at Christmas and the hospice lady wants to advise me how to tell them the 2 young ones. Don't think I can face that. Keira was 6 this week, and Ollie is 3. I think I will chicken out of that one. It would ruin Christmas - well, that's my excuse anyway.

Great news Sunbury, as you say, onwards and upwards.

It's not an excuse - it is important that you take things at the pace you want to. Of course it's wise of you to listen to others well meaning council but given your already demonstrable courage you must follow your instincts . You are clearly a very good man trying to do the best for everyone around you - bless you .

Thank you. I don't think I can sit the little ones down and tell them Grumpy is dying and I probably won't see you again (they live in Portsmouth, a long way from Telford)- I was asked if I wanted to be Grandad or Grandpa and opted for Grumpy as my wife is always telling me I am grumpy! Just can't face that.

Hi Tony

Fcuk life is hard isnt it

This is not a solution but when one of our cats died my daughter told Finley who is coming up for 3 that Holly had gone to live in another house, sometimes cats doe that.  He accepted that

I cant advise you how to handle it but it seems like you have your head screwed on and I am sure you will handle it in the right way

  If I was one of your grand children. I'd appriate a letter. Telling me about your life especially all the best bits. I'd have that letter for life then. It would very probably change the way I go about things.
  We've only swapped a couple of messages but right now I just want to hear the good stuff. Not just because it would delay me thinking about the worst but because it would give you a break from it as well.
  So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to hearing something we don't know about you :)
