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
Keep going 2T2B just keep going and this time next year you can come on here and tell us all about it.
Easy for us to talk but your not on your own, I'm hoping you get all the luck going.
Ted.
This !! keep your chin up Jim and like everybody enjoy each day to the max and when you feel up to it write down stuff for your daughters to open on birthdays and other dates it will help them tremendously and you too . Thinking of you tonight and our Christmas wish is seeing that face from Hill Street Blues (sig picture )at this time next year. Merry Christmas to everybody .
I've not always agreed with you but you're a character and that's one of the many things I've missed, from not going to watch the Rangers. You mentioned your youngest daughter, is there anything we can do? Even if it's just to show she has a family here that will welcome her with open arms. My prayers and thoughts go with you brother
I'm sure I speak for many when I say that the first thing I do when I sit down at the computer is refresh this forum. Whatever else is going on in our lives, the connection we have to this football club is one of the strongest bonds we will ever have. Colleagues, friends and loved ones all come and go but this strangest of bonds is always there. The urge to yell out “You RRRRS!” when you see someone wearing the shirt at some far flung corner of the planet reminds us that in some weird way, we are a family. My dad supports this club so it was natural that I did the same and this evening I heard that his op at Guys hospital went well and he's recovering from having a tumor removed. I log in tonight and read your post and you can imagine the mixed emotions I'm feeling. Like most of the posters on this site, I've never met you but I've got to know you through your writings. We are your extended family and your post tonight reminds us all how important that is. Keep posting, keep up the positive attitude and make the most of every day. Good luck to you 2T2B and enjoy this Christmas with your family.
So sorry to hear your news , I hope you get to.to spend many days with your girls and see our team win a few games . Hope to read your post for s long time yet .. ETB
So sorry to hear your news. Cancer’s a real bastard. There’s nothing else I can say, except that if prayer and positive thoughts can give you strength then hopefully that can give you some comfort to carry on.
I'm very sorry to hear your news. Pancreatic cancer is indeed a bastard but you have always had a lot of fight in you, so that stands you in good stead.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to spend a lot of time with your girls over the next few months and years and get even closer to them.
As previous posters said, keep posting, we're like a big dysfunctional family here.
As others have said - keep fighting. A very good friend of mine was given a few weeks to live over five years ago and the cancer has not developed since leaving him as healthy as he's ever been. Much love, my man.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
My thoughts and prayers are with you: this is ‘only’ a football forum and most of us have never met each other in the flesh but I remember being in a low place when Gary Speed passed on and there was a thread on Qprdot where everyone really opened up and shared their lives and feelings and the support shown on there genuinely helped me get through a really bad time. God bless you mate.
So sorry to hear this news 2T2B, but with your determination I hope you'll keep winding me up with your posts for a very long time to come. Stay strong mate.
Hello 2t2b I don't really post anything on here but read it avidly, sitting here after my Christmas dinner reading your post with a tear in my eye . I have 2 kids,a boy and a girl aged 22 and 19 and the thought of leaving them early tears me up. You are one of my favourite posters but I never seem to agree with you but for that I can only thank you. Stay strong.
Sorry to this 2T2B but if anyone can tough it out it’s you. Always interesting, always controversial and always entertaining. Don’t always agree with you but sometimes I’ve backed you up on here just for the hell of it 😄. Keeping on trucking mate. (When I say mate I mean it)
As for those that have not agreed with some of my views
Jack Sprat could eat no fat. His wife could eat no lean. But, together both, They licked the platter clean.
Digesting, this meal of a club together. is what we do here.
I've had a good Christmas day.
I hope you all have too.
thats what its all about t.
take one day at a time and enjoy it the best you can. i know there will be times on your own when you sit and reminisce....be strong for the family, especially the daughters.
hopefully this day next year we will be talking about the qpr's ups and downs.
