Hi Dotel, yes it is very, very sad
It's that something that makes you so angry, just like a thief or robber!
You feel cheated but bey, he's a great boy, I have that

Dotel, that is so sweet of you, many, many thanks.
I have had sixteen years to gear up to this, they told me he wouldn't live much longer than 12/13 years and although we lost him twice two winters ago, he got through the vent and we plod on. I don't normally go into this but sometimes its good to talk and share, then we all can, including me, see the funny and happy side of life ;o)

very sorry to hear -its a cruel world we live in sometime. If you ever need to vent, this is normally a good place to do it. I respect your courage.

Hi Fundi, yes, sometimes talking to faceless people is good. Not sure it takes courage :o(

the courage comment wasn't to do with the talking, but with what you must have had to deal with over the years. I know how hard it was for me dealing with my mum when she was terminally ill.

Sorry, yes, it is hard. A no hope verdict for any decent human being is torture, most people are decent and understanding. My toast is for them tonight, as I open another bottle of White, "to decent human beings of any colour and nationality"

Brockman, I'm not sure what to say? i would not understand the depth of feelings you have for your son and what goes through your heart and mind each and every day. But this is for certain, you love him and you care for him and i reckon you do more for your son than most parents ever do in thier lifetime for their children. You have great heart and soul and although your son may not show it or tell you, he as a wonderful mum the best he could ever hope for and already had the love of a lifetime. That's all anyone could ever ask for. I shall get you your drink my friend.

Well, what can I say, it doesn't take much to reduce me to tears now. I know there are wonderful people and scum bags in this world, thank heavens for the nice people. Cheers xxxxxxxxxxxxx Oh and I'm a Mum, not a Dad ;o)

brockman - have a similar situation with my youngest sister, although she is a little older. I always try to remember the good times, but that goes without saying and probably doesn't help much. 'Nuff said. ;-)
Dotel often seems to be decimating something that sounded edible before it was "tampered" with.
Well, this bottle's well down - amazing how it empties so much faster on a Friday. ;-0

Hi Davey Dazzley, I know, I do understand, it helps that you can lay on the cafe couch sometimes for a little therapy. Thanks all.
