| Re: Sad news for Weave Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. My Da was cremated yesterday, it was a lovely service, I still can't believe he is gone, we knew he was going to die, but we honestly thought we would have more time with him, the fluid on his lungs was too much for him, he fought hard right to the very end, my sister and I were with him when he passed, it was peaceful. Thanks again everyone x |

| Its me again! Its six months since my Dad passed away and I won't lie to you, I have taken it very hard, but so has the rest of the family. My mum has lost someone who was part of her life for the best part of 34 years. Sorry to be depressing, we now know it was cancer that took our Dad from us, it was in three different places, his lungs, his lymph nodes and his liver. The fact that my Dad was diabetic and was also suffering from pneumonia set the cancer off and it spread very quickly. As stated before it was peaceful when he went and he deserved that. He lived a good life, he was not a perfect man, he loved us and we loved him. Thanks for reading. x |

| Thanks J.D. We are all okay, my Mum is still finding it difficult, Christmas was weird without my Da, but there will be more times like that, it would have been his 63rd birthday next month, that will be a tough day too. ![]() An old photo but that is me in my Da's arms and my Grandad is standing beside us. |

| Re: Sad news for Weave Yes, first holidays and birthdays without them is a jolt. It does get better, but not quickly; and I'm not sure it ever quite goes away... but the feelings tend to have more of an overlay of the good memories to turn the hurt into that much less painful sort of "sweet melancholy" one so often hears about.... |
