Title: Make 2013 a better Year...PLEASE!
Post by: Cyntaf on December 18, 2012, 19:00:30 PM
Hi everybody. As you may remember we lost Juliegh earlier in the year.(Thanks for all the support).

My sister in law,Cheryl has been awaiting results of a possible cancer.

4 days ago, my brother Eddie"s wife died whilst he was on the phone to her. Asthma attack and heart attack.

This morning Cheryls cancer was confirmed as pancreatic, although they are very positive that they have caught it early and that it has not spread. Go home and enjoy Christmas they were told. My brother Laurie smiled for the first time in a long while.

This afternoon they found my brother Eddie, who had passed in his sleep possibly heart attack just days after his wife Sue.

Life can be cruel, and none of us know just what is around the next corner. So be nice and enjoy.

I mean this sincerely and in no other way, i wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new Year. Xxx

I"m not happy publishing these things but you(APAT) really are my extended family.

sorry to hear all this going on Paul. Just terrible, and no words can begin to describe what you must be feeling. I hope that your wish for a better year in 2013 comes to fruition. Hope to see you soon. Your company, laughter and stupid banter have been missed terribly at the last 2 APAT events. Take care of yourself.
your friend

Oh my Lord, have to wait until this Friday to bury Eddie.

I receive a phone call this morning that my brother Peter has just lost his nine week old Grand daughter :"(

Happy new year to all, i probably will not post again until i have something positive to post about. Don"t mean to bring you down on New years and all that.

Love and peace to all. Paul M. XXX
