Trying to smile

But all I'm getting is tears.

My friend Becky died last night from Hodgkins Lymphoma. We'd been good
friends since we were 7 years old at lower school together. I don't
know why, but this has hit me really hard, much worse than when close
friends have died suddenly. Becky'd been very ill for a number of years
and it was inevitable that she was going to die well before time, but
I'm just really in bits about it. I'm trying to smile because I want to
remember her as a very funny, intelligent, pretty and lovely girl to be
around.

I'm off to curl up on the sofa and have a cry.

RIP Becky

 

Ah shite, man, sorry to hear that.

Look on the bright side - we've been spared another fucking cat down
thread.

Best thing. Makes it easier to cheer up after.

RIP indeed.

 

This is what wakes are for.
All the best in all this shit.

BTDT - Commiserations - it's awful.

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Sorry to hear about this Loz

 

Sorry to hear that, Loz. I'm not having the best day either; just memories
and regrets in my case but it's not good all the same.

Whisky/booze of choice. YKIMS matey.

 

Bugger.

You were there to support our recent loss and be assured that you and her
family are in our thoughts at this difficult time.

I'm still in tears at random moments two months later so am painfully aware
of how hard these things can hit, sometimes when you're least expecting it.

 

Perfectly understandable. We don't choose our relatives. Really close
friends are special.

I'm really sorry to hear that mate. You're in my thoughts.

 

The measure of a persons worth is the amount of love they leave
behind.

Oh Loz, that's tough. It's hard saying good bye.

 

Sorry for your loss chap.

Any condition ending with "oma" is fucking bad news in my experience.
Seeing the life drained out of a loved one is neither fun, nor a
compelling spectator sport, particularly when it happens at a young age.

Top man, I still haven't done that yet for my old man, but being
presented with his old Omega wristwatch, fully rebuily courtesy of
SWMBO nearly got me there.

Indeed
